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 ...

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, ...

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, ...

The fact that computer science is ill-suited in preparing new engineers to enter the workforce opened the door for so-called ‘hacker academies’ to pick up the slack. As I had grown into the role of ...

June 18, 1998 Debugging embedded systems: 10 common hardware problems and how to solve themStuart R BallSome of the most common hardware problems can derail your debugging effort if you don't watch ...

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 ...

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 ...

I *think* this is more of a question about enabling more logging than a coding question. System is Ubuntu 11.04, PHP5, Apache2. I've got a PHP script that sometimes behaves normally via apache - i.e., ...

I’m posting this to make sure it gets out there, so nobody else spends a couple days trying to fix it. Recently, after some upgrade, I started getting the following message during JRuby’s run of ...
