I recently took an extended briefing in the form of attending a regional developers' conference in I-495 tech corridor Massachusetts on embedded development and deployment strategies. The host, Wind ...
The idea of unit testing has been around for many years. Test early, test often is a mantra that concerns unit testing as well. By using stubs, developers can test code under realistic and controlled ...
Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...
Today's sophisticated system-on-chip (SoC) devices implement a variety of specialized microelectronic functions. Those functions, sometimes complete embedded systems in their own right, typically ...
Two companies have joined forces to optimize quality, integrity, post-programming validation, and cost for embedded test of reprogrammable logic cores. The increasing complexity of system-on-a-chip ...
Historically, embedded engineers have ignored device layer security. While chip vendors have added device lockdown and secure boot features, these represent only the first steps – embedded devices ...
We’ve got embedded test, now what?Jeff ChappellThe semiconductor industry no longer needs to be persuaded to utilise design for test (DFT) and embedded test techniques; now it wants to know what else ...
The functionality of embedded systems is becoming more and more sophisticated, and their real-time operation makes the debugging and verification of such systems extremely difficult to do in a ...
Advances in very deep-submicron process technology require corresponding investments in design and test. Design infrastructure enabling the achievements of advanced design capability is well ...
