In current system-on-a-chip (SoC) development, no standard access mechanism exists for testing embedded logic cores. Each core provider develops its own process for isolating the core and testing it.

With the proliferation of IoT devices come increased embedded security attacks. Historically, embedded system engineers have ignored device-layer security despite the many areas of embedded devices ...

It's no longer enough for test engineers to insert DFT scan chains into a flattened chip layout after synthesis. Now, embedded test structures are being thought of as the first line of defense for ...

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 ...

Embedded software and electronics represent an increasing percentage of the engineering content of an automobile. By 2010, electronics are expected to comprise 40 percent of automotive material costs, ...

Imperas Software has announced that Razorcat Developments, a provider of software testing tools for the embedded systems market, has integrated the Imperas fast processor reference models into the ...

One interesting fact that I’ve noticed about embedded software development is that development processes and techniques tend to lag the general software industry. When I first started to write ...

In several of my previous posts, we’ve been looking at embedded software testing using Cpputest and build environments using Docker. Each topic is a building block ...

Keysight Technologies Inc. KEYS recently introduced the Next-Generation Embedded Security Testbench, a solution engineered to address growing security challenges of modern chips and embedded devices.

The transition to the 2nm technology node introduces unprecedented challenges in Automated Test Equipment (ATE) bring-up and manufacturability. As semiconductor devices scale down, the complexity of ...

In addition to all of the usual testing concerns, interactive graphical applications present some complicated issues. But testing around these complexities is possible, as shown here. The automated ...

Weebit Nano Ltd (ASX: WBT, Weebit), a leading developer and licensor of advanced memory technologies for the global semiconductor industry, has successfully taped-out (released to manufacturing) test ...
