All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

No matter what type of embedded system you build, you must test it. Tests give us a warm fuzzy feeling that our system works correctly under specific environmental and operational conditions. While ...

Testing, alone, cannot find all potential failure points for real-time embedded software, particularly in multithreading environments. In part 2 of Sean Beatty's article on errors that escape ...

Soujanya Annapareddy is a seasoned expert in embedded systems and automation, specializing in test automation, cross-platform integration, and firmware validation. She has contributed to the ...

While the use of complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs has increased, unfortunately, that hasn't increased the time-to-market window for designers and chip manufacturers. As SoC designs become more ...

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

Testr3 Studio is capable of sending commands to devices, read and compare multiple values originating from various registers in an embedded system. The powerfulness of the test suite allows users to ...

In current system-on-a-chip (SoC) development, no standard access mechanism exists for testing embedded logic cores. Each core provider develops its own process for isolating the core and testing it.

Engineers are beginning to appreciate that, from prototypes early in the design cycle through to final system test, a digital pattern generator (DPG) speeds up system debug and therefore shortens the ...
