Part two explains the workings of the JTAG boundary-scan technology. Part four explains how to use breakpoints, event triggers, and program traces to debug code. Emulation is a technology used in the ...

The appeal of embedded systems is clear. A high degree of configurability, readily available commercial intellectual property (IP), and the use of well-understood and accepted protocols and bus ...

System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are becoming increasingly complex. Modelling, verification, and debug facilities at RTL have become quite inadequate in the face of rising design challenges.

Embedded designers put microprocessors in everyday products like cars, phones, cameras, TVs, music players, and printers, as well as the communications infrastructure, which the general public doesn’t ...
