Debugging Embedded Microprocessor Systems provides techniques for engineers, technicians, and students who need to correct design faults in embedded systems. Using real-world scenarios, you can learn practical, time-saving ways to avoid and repair potentially costly problems. Prevention is stressed. Author Stuart Ball addresses hardware and software issues, including up-front design techniques to prevent bugs and contain design creep. Practical advice includes descriptions of common tools which can be used to help identify and repair bugs, as well as test routines. RTOS and embedded PC environments are also covered. Each chapter of Debugging Embedded Microprocessor Systems begins with an example design problem that illustrates real-world issues such as design changes, time pressures, equipment or component availability, etc. Case studies of past debugging projects are presented in the final chapter. 256 pages, softcover Contents - 1 Tools for Debugging Embedded Systems
