Before looking at other aspects of WDM drivers, it is worth while looking at how to test and debug drivers. This chapter explains how to use the DebugPrint tool that comes with the book software. This ...

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 ...

Teledyne LeCroy has introduced the DDR Debug Toolkit for complete physical layer analysis of DDR 2/3/4 and LPDDR2/3 signals. Most oscilloscope-based DDR physical layer test tools on the market are ...

Troubleshooting communications test systems can be made easier if the hardware and software development are separated from each other. Problems can be more readily found and corrected by following ...

Back in the day, we'd write some code, compile, execute, see what happened and repeat. That was testing. (Sometimes that's still what testing looks like, for better or worse.) Today, we can do a lot ...

Modern multithreaded, asynchronous code can be hard to debug. The complexity that comes with message passing and thread management results in bugs that can seem non-determinant, with little or no way ...

Debugging embedded designs is becoming increasingly difficult as the number of observed and possible interactions between hardware and software continue to grow, and as more features are crammed into ...

This chapter discusses how completed die are tested. The chapter describes the validation of the design, the root causes and the fixing of design bugs, and the testing flow to identify manufacturing ...
