The proliferation of microcontrollers has made it easier than ever to add some smarts to a project, but sometimes there just isn’t enough space for headers on a board, or you feel a little silly ...

Enabling a robust on-chip debug capability is being recognized as animportant Design for Debug (DFD) capability for complex SoC and having DFDstandardization makes the Open Core Protocol (OCP) ...

Modern embedded systems are becoming increasingly compact, power efficient, and feature rich. As SoCs integrate more functionality, developers need reliable debug access without increasing pin count ...

The kernel's "dynamic debugging" interface saw some minor changes for 2.6.39. As it happens, LWN has never written about how dynamic debug works, so this seems like an opportune time to fill in the ...

Attackers with access to a device can take control over a target's computer and bypass all local security systems by abusing a hardware debugging interface included with Intel CPUs, which in recent ...

For debugging embedded microcontrollers running at 200MHz speeds tool vendors are making use of high speed serial interfaces such as USB to speed up data transfers. But the Nexus high speed interface ...

Gilbert Laurenti, Texas Instruments Inc. Abstract Debug for SoC adds new requirements and challenges in terms of adding visibility and control to a system, simplifying integration of hardware and ...

As a debugger, GDB is a veritable Swiss Army knife. And just like exploring all of the non-obvious uses of a those knives, your initial response to the scope of GDB’s feature set is likely to be one ...
