Taken literally, embedded test is just that: test capabilities that exist wholly embedded within a system. Power-on self-test is an example as is a built-in performance-monitoring feature programmed ...

Silicon real estate advances have inevitably led to the complete integration of microprocessor subsystems together with custom hardware and software on single devices. This advancement has brought ...

Companies specializing in circuit board and system design-for-test (DFT) tools are pursuing a variety of strategies to serve test and debug applications based on innovations they announced over the ...

Embedded systems are the foundation of today’s electronic devices, spanning sectors as diverse as consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial, medical, automotive and aerospace applications.

Time and time again, there is one activity that always cannibalizes an embedded software project's financial and delivery budget: debugging. The average embedded software developer spends 20 – 40% of ...

The appeal of embedded systems is clear. A high degree of configurability, readily available commercial intellectual property (IP), and the use of well-understood and accepted protocols and bus ...
