An SOC (system on chip) includes many components, such as processors, timers, interrupt controllers, buses, memories, and embedded software. It is a complete system that designers a few years back ...

The increase in complexity of designs being prototyped on FPGAs has led to the increase in need for better debugging techniques. The design being prototyped on the FPGA may be used for performing ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, together with partners from Sydney and Waterloo, have presented a new diagnostic method for quantum computers. It makes errors in individual quantum bits ...

Sometimes, in debug mode, you find yourself sitting on a line in a method that you have no interest in. What you actually want to do is to get back out of the method and stop in some method you've ...

How can we debug method calls that are not part of our own source code, say a call to JButton.setEnabled()? Java provides us with anonymous inner classes, which come in quite handy for this problem.
