Debugging Embedded Microprocessor Systems by Stuart R. Ball

From the Publisher

Debugging Embedded Microprocessor Systems provides techniques for engineers, technicians, and students who need to correct design faults in embedded systems. Using real-world scenarios, designers can learn practical, time-saving ways to avoid and repair potentially costly problems. Prevention is stressed.

In this book, the author 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 opens with an example design problem which 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.

Booknews

Considering how to anticipate and prevent bugs as well as finding and fixing them, the author discusses hardware and software issues (including up-front design techniques to prevent bugs and contain design creep); common tools that can be used to help identify and repair bugs; test routines; and RTOs and embedded PC environments. In the final chapter, he describes some of his past debugging projects and lessons learned from them. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
