Enabling a robust on-chip debug capability is being recognized as animportant Design for Debug (DFD) capability for complex SoC and having DFDstandardization makes the Open Core Protocol (OCP) ...

Intel responded to a claim about hackers gaining hardware-level access to PCs sporting its sixth- and seventh-generation processors. The claim was made during a presentation at the 33rd annual Chaos ...

Attackers with access to a device can take control over a target's computer and bypass all local security systems by abusing a hardware debugging interface included with Intel CPUs, which in recent ...

Gilbert Laurenti, Texas Instruments Inc. Abstract Debug for SoC adds new requirements and challenges in terms of adding visibility and control to a system, simplifying integration of hardware and ...

Several processor vendors have extended JTAG software debug, often to make it faster, or to add hardware trace capabilities. The NEXUS consortium for example defines an auxiliary port containing a ...

The integration and debug of multiple cores, combined with an increasing ratio of overall gates vs. package IO, makes an increasingly dominant amount of a system design "“deeply embedded†, such ...

For debugging embedded microcontrollers running at 200MHz speeds tool vendors are making use of high speed serial interfaces such as USB to speed up data transfers. But the Nexus high speed interface ...

Microcontrollers and FPGAs often work together in embedded systems. As more functions move into the FPGA, however, debugging the interface between the two devices becomes more difficult. The ...

The PowerPC started out as a RISC challenger to the PC's XC86, developed by Apple, IBM, and Motorola. It lost that race, but it has become a major RISC for ICs, ASSPs, and cores. PowerPCs have a large ...

Embedded designers put microprocessors in everyday products like cars, phones, cameras, TVs, music players, and printers, as well as the communications infrastructure, which the general public doesn’t ...
