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 ...

If you are performing validation tests or debugging circuits, you can save time by using three logic-analyzer techniques that combine stimulus and real-time trace capture: simulating the input to a ...

Modern PCIe systems are complex, with high-speed data transfer and intricate protocols. Traditional debug methods often struggle to provide the necessary granularity and real-time visibility into link ...

Advancement of technology has transformed big and complex circuit boards into small and simple Integrated Chips (ICs). ICs have surpassed circuit boards in every field. Be it their small size, lower ...

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 ...

Modern multithreaded, asynchronous code can be hard to debug. The complexity that comes with message passing and thread management results in bugs that can seem non-determinant, with little or no way ...

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.
