The increase in complexity of designs being prototyped on FPGAs has led to the increase in need for better debugging techniques. The design being prototyped on the FPGA may be used for performing ...

If you are performing validation tests or debugging circuits, you can save time by using three logic-analyzer techniques that combine stimulus and real-time trace capture: simulating the input to a ...

Assertive debugging is a new way to make embedded systems ensure their own health by having your code monitor itself. Debugging is an art that needs much further study .... The most effective ...

Whether local or over the Internet, network-based debugging has changed the way applications are developed and tested. Changes were first necessary to accommodate PC-based network applications. Now ...

Sometimes, in debug mode, you find yourself sitting on a line in a method that you have no interest in. What you actually want to do is to get back out of the method and stop in some method you've ...

With IO rates of several hundred megahertz, FPGAs have become an excellent medium for implementation of high-speed memory controllers. Fast memory storage and retrieval often involve implementing DDR ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon and Johns Hopkins universities are touting a new method of reliably detecting software bugs in surgical robots and for verifying the software is safe. They plan to ...

Modern multithreaded, asynchronous code can be hard to debug. The complexity that comes with message passing and thread management results in bugs that can seem non-determinant, with little or no way ...

How can we debug method calls that are not part of our own source code, say a call to JButton.setEnabled()? Java provides us with anonymous inner classes, which come in quite handy for this problem.
