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 ...

All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

For 30 years, ICs have been doubling in density every 18 months. Clock rates are increasing even more rapidly. Many people predict that technology cannot keep this pace, but recent data suggests that ...

The functionality of embedded systems is becoming more and more sophisticated, and their real-time operation makes the debugging and verification of such systems extremely difficult to do in a ...

Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...

Today’s complexity of embedded systems is steadily increasing. The growing number of components in a system and the increased communication and synchronization of all components requires reliable ...

The Open Verification Methodology (OVM) has been available for download under the Apache 2.0 license since January 2008. Signs of an ecosystem have gradually emerged since then. As just one example, ...
