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 ...

From the earliest days of my career, when designing chips, I have always navigated the interface between hardware and software for semiconductor design in my roles. My initial chip designs included ...

System integration does not have to be complicated. When provided with the right tools and resources, expensive integrators are no longer mandatory to upgrade your test lab's existing test stands.

Its use results in faster development, cleaner testbenches, and a modern software-oriented approach to validating FPGA and ASIC designs without replacing your existing simulator.

The concept of Continuous Integration (CI) is a powerful tool in software development, and it’s not every day we get a look at how someone integrated automated hardware testing into their system.

Part 1: Different goals and methodologies have long divided hardware and software engineering teams. Some companies have solved these issues, others are working on them. Since the advent of embedded ...

Part one introduces the hardware used for debugging, the debugging challenges facing DSP programmers, and debugging methodologies.Part three explains how emulators control programs on the DSP through ...

The new Sun Customer Ready Systems (CRS) program is similar to the Sun Floor Tile Ready (FTR) program launched last October, said Raj Das, director of marketing for Sun's integrated products group.
