Several processor vendors have extended JTAG software debug, often to make it faster, or to add hardware trace capabilities. The NEXUS consortium for example defines an auxiliary port containing a ...

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 ...

Scandump is an advanced silicon debugging technique that ingeniously repurposes DFT (Design For Testability) scan chains for functional debugging. This method allows for the extraction of states from ...

If you have ever tried to debug optimized code, you probably realized that it can be a frustrating experience. Without optimizations, your debugger is a reliable assistant, precisely following every ...
