Debugging Embedded Is Hard

NMI


24th June 2008 ARM Campus, Cambridge

 

Technical Director, Chris Hills is opening the NMI Embedded Technical Network Event on 24th June in Cambridge with the presentation: Debugging is hard:  So why do it?

 

By its very nature embedded software is usually developed to run on custom or semi-custom hardware. At the start of an embedded software development program the custom hardware is rarely available, often taking many months to develop. Until the hardware is fully developed and debugged it is impossible to properly test and debug the software.

 

This event examines some of the issues involved in debugging embedded software and takes a look at ways that we can improve our chances of success.

 

As always, in addition to the presentations, there will be the opportunity to meet and network with attendees from a variety of organisations ranging from fabless semiconductor providers, IDMs, tool suppliers, foundries, design/software service providers, IP providers, training, research and academic institutions.
