It's a Hardware Bug and I Can Prove It - Debugging Techniques for Embedded Systems

Explore debugging techniques for embedded systems in this 37-minute Linux Foundation conference talk. Delve into the blurred line between software and hardware, especially in programmable hardware environments. Learn how to identify and prove hardware bugs using simple tools that allow single-stepping and setting breakpoints in both software and hardware. Witness a live demonstration showcasing these techniques, providing clarity on issue root causes. Gain insights into debugging complex systems, ARM debug infrastructure, and integration of various tools. Discover the importance of co-debugging in concurrent hardware and software development, particularly in critical applications. Benefit from the expertise of Kris Chaplin, an Embedded Technology Specialist with extensive experience in architecting embedded processor systems running Linux in FPGAs.
