About this title

Synopsis

Debugging Embedded and Real-Time Systems: The Art, Science, Technology and Tools of Real-Time System Debugging gives a unique introduction to debugging skills and strategies for embedded and real-time systems. Practically focused, it draws on application notes and white papers written by the companies who create design and debug tools.

Debugging Embedded and Real Time Systems presents best practice strategies for debugging real-time systems, through real-life case studies and coverage of specialized tools such as logic analysis, JTAG debuggers and performance analyzers. It follows the traditional design life cycle of an embedded system and points out where defects can be introduced and how to find them and prevent them in future designs. It also studies application performance monitoring, the execution trace recording of individual applications, and other tactics to debug and control individual running applications in the multitasking OS.

Suitable for the professional engineer and student, this book is a compendium of best practices based on the literature as well as the author’s considerable experience as a tools’ developer.

• Provides a unique reference on Debugging Embedded and Real-Time Systems
• Presents best practice strategies for debugging real-time systems
• Written by an author with many years of experience as a tools developer
• Includes real-life case studies that show how debugging skills can be improved
• Covers logic analysis, JTAG debuggers and performance analyzers that are used for designing and debugging embedded systems
