Computer scientists have developed a technique to speed up program debugging by automatically 'chipping' the software into smaller pieces so that bugs can be isolated more easily. The "Chipper" tools ...

Assertive debugging is a new way to make embedded systems ensure their own health by having your code monitor itself. Debugging is an art that needs much further study .... The most effective ...

Trace has come, gone, and then come back into in-circuit-emulators. Trace in embedded software debug tools was a mainstay in the 1980s. It almost disappeared by the end of the 1990s and has been ...

Originally published in the November 1988 Embedded Systems Programming magazine. Correction is the final step of any debugging exercise. Sometimes bug eradication is straightforward; sometimes a bug ...

Microchip has upped the security of a family of PIC18 microcontrollers by adding a one-time disable to its programming and debugging interface. Called PDID (programming and debugging interface disable ...
