Often, people ask questions about the differences between debugging and bug tracking. These two seem like they should be ...

While semiconductor verification techniques have evolved considerably over the last 25 years, the debug of design problems found during verification has barely changed. New algorithms including ...

The first task is always to determine in which administrative domain the problem is occurring. None of these teams will ever admit that they might be the source of the problem, so test tools are ...

Embedded systems can contain many different types of devices including microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs, RAM, EPROMs, FPGAs, A/Ds, and D/As. These various devices must communicate with each ...

Researchers said today they have developed a chip-debugging program that promises to reduce silicon problem resolution from days to hours while saving potentially millions of dollars. The technology, ...

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, ...

Nutter helps a reader figure out why his broadband speed is significantly lower than what he’s supposed to receive. We often find our broadband speed is significantly slower than the 1.5M-2M bit/sec ...

The majority of time debugging is not spent removing bugs but understanding code behavior. Once you understand why undesirable behavior is happening it is usually relatively easy to fix this behavior.

I’m retired now, but for 30 years I debugged problems in bleeding-edge IBM processors, horizontal microcode, firmware, software and hardware. Then for another nine years I debugged problems in ...
