Part two explains the workings of the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan technology. In software development, perhaps the most critical, yet least predictable stage in the process is debugging. Many ...

In a huge software project for an embedded application, a function behaved in a strange fashion. A variable, which must not be changed while the function is executed, was changed. The function itself ...

The integration and debug of multiple cores, combined with an increasing ratio of overall gates vs. package IO, makes an increasingly dominant amount of a system design "“deeply embedded†, such ...
