Debugging applications based on a very long-instruction word (VLIW) DSP-CPU-based multimedia processor is a major challenge because the system designer is exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP ...

The PowerPC started out as a RISC challenger to the PC's XC86, developed by Apple, IBM, and Motorola. It lost that race, but it has become a major RISC for ICs, ASSPs, and cores. PowerPCs have a large ...

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 ...

Any developer, but above all the firmware or software developer, building a complex, microprocessor-based embedded product faces an enormous challenge to get a reliable, high performance product to ...

When ARC was introduced in Objective-C, memory management become much less of an issue, but you can still create issues especially with holding objects longer than needed. Here’s an open source iOS ...

Modern trace and debugging techniques. IDEs to use for trace and debugging. In computer programming and software development, engineers will deploy debugging tools and processes to find and mitigate ...
