Description
Modern embedded systems require high performance, low cost and low power consumption. Such systems typically consist of a heterogeneous
collection of processors, specialized memory subsystems, and partially programmable or fixed-function components. This heterogeneity,
coupled with issues such as hardware/software partitioning, mapping, scheduling, etc., leads to a large number of design possibilities,
making performance debugging and validation of such systems a difficult problem.
Embedded systems are used to control safety
critical applications such as flight control, automotive electronics and healthcare monitoring. Clearly, developing reliable software/systems
for such applications is of utmost importance. This book describes a host of debugging and verification methods which can help to achieve
this goal.
Audience:
Designers of Microprocessors and Systems-on-Chip (SOC), concerned with debugging and validation, at companies globally such as Microsoft, Honeywell, Intel, and many more
