Experts explain how thermal imaging cameras can be used to debug complex circuit boards, a tricky, time-consuming part of medical device development. Jason Christensen and Andreas Pfahnl, ScD Figure 1 ...

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 ...

The best software developers don’t just write code — they also debug it. Whether you wrote your current code base or inherited it, this primer provides a framework for best practices. All software has ...

I’ve always regarded debugging and troubleshooting as the most challenging of all hands-on engineering skills. It’s not formally taught; it is usually learned through hands-on experience (often the ...

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, ...

Engineering failures often begin as "silent bugs" in team dynamics -- misalignment, communication gaps and workflow friction that stay hidden until they affect delivery. Borrowing from sports coaching ...

The Debug.log file can record database operations, system processes, and errors that occur when executing a transaction or running unit tests. In today’s post, we describe how to turn on debug logging ...

Accurate library characterization is a crucial step for modern chip design and verification. For full-chip designs with billions of transistors, timing sign-off through simulation is unfeasible due to ...

If you run into problems building, testing or running complex bash scripts, don’t lose heart. There are many ways you can help ensure that your scripts will work flawlessly. In this post, we’ll ...
