Description
This new book manages the unthinkable- it conveys crucial technical information to engineers without boring them to tears! In this unique
reference, expert embedded designer Lisa Simone provides the solutions to typical embedded software debugging problems from a fresh new
perspective. She introduces a team of engineers who readers will recognize from their own workplaces, and then confronts them with real-world
debugging scenarios of progressive complexity, drawing the reader into the “mysteries” with their new fictional colleagues, and guiding
them step-by-step toward successful solutions.
