“Mocking your way to the bottom,” Greg Williams and Jordan Schaenzle Atomic Embedded Greg and Jordan plan to provide course attendees with a mechanism to simulate interactions with lower layers of the ...

Let's not beat around the bush. Most embedded engineers believe they can't test their firmware until the hardware shows up. The board is on backorder, the bring-up team is still fighting the power ...

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 ...

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 ...

Companies specializing in circuit board and system design-for-test (DFT) tools are pursuing a variety of strategies to serve test and debug applications based on innovations they announced over the ...

Generically, embedded test implies a test capability that has been integrated into a product. Of course, whether that product is an IC, a PCB, or a complete system, embedded test means different ...

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 ...

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 ...

Built-in test and diagnostics are crucial to sensing and diagnosing failures — potentially saving lives, billions of dollars in liabilities, and reputations. Aerospace and defense system failures have ...

Applications such as smart cards and devices used in the defense industry require security features to ensure that sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a niche requirement ...
