Beschreibung
Virtual platforms have opened up a whole new world of software analysis and debugging solutions. This book gives a technical overview and practical examples on the usage of virtual platforms for debugging, covering various software and design tasks.
The ability to debug and analyze software defects efficiently is a key requirement in order to complete a software project successfully and on time. Especially when porting legacy software such as an operating system (OS) or migrating sequential code to multi-core platforms, powerful debugging tools and methods are indispensable. Virtual platforms enable a whole new world of software analysis and debugging solutions. This book gives a technical overview and practical examples on the usage of virtual platforms for debugging. It describes how virtual platforms can solve debugging problems where existing debugging targets (e.g. prototype board, final hardware) fail to deliver a solution. Coverage includes various software types (e.g. firmware, OS, middleware, applications), design tasks such as bring-up, porting, development and hardware architectures (e.g. single-core, AMP, SMP
OS-aware software analysis eases the understanding of the history and interaction between multiple parallel software stacks
Enables engineers to trigger and analyze multi-processing defects such as dead-locks and race conditions
Allows for assertion of correctness and performance of complex shared-memory communication, resulting in significant quality and productivity gain
