Visual Studio provides a rich set of tools for finding bugs, though most developers aren't aware or don't take advantage of all of them. Bugs occur at two stages in a code's life: during development ...

On various occasions, I’ve received inquiries about how to install and start using WinDbg. For this reason, in this post, I’m going to show you how to configure an environment with WinDbg and virtual ...

Congratulations, you have just finished assembling your electronics project. After checking for obvious problems you apply power and… it didn’t do what you wanted. They almost never work on the first ...

Programmers spend a high percentage of the time debugging rather than writing code. You probably had some training in learning a language or framework–but how did you learn to fix the defects in your ...

Designing robust systems using a high-speed interface like USB Type-C requires a great deal of care. When the interface involves advanced features like USB power delivery, debugging designs becomes ...

The complexity associated with the development of embedded systems is increasing rapidly. For instance, it is estimated that the average complexity of software projects in the automotive industry has ...

Testing is an integral and important part of any software development cycle, open or closed, and Linux kernel is no exception to that. Developer testing, integration testing, regression, and stress ...

There appears to be an unwritten law about the time spent in debug-it is a constant. It could be that all gains made by improvements in tools and methodologies are offset by increases in complexity, ...

Design verification has been the biggest challenge for any IC design company for decades now. EDA tools and verification methods have evolved a lot over the last two decades, but along with that, the ...

Tools for debugging embedded systems range from software monitors and simulators, which are independent of the hardware under development, to custom silicon for in-circuit emulation, which replaces ...
