Run-time Data Visualization of Embedded Systems with µC/Probe
MCUs with low-cost in-circuit debugging capabilities make it easy and cost effective for system developers to single-step code on an instruction-by-instruction basis. Using this debugging method, variables can be examined and modified, register contents can be displayed, and memory can be dumped - but generally, only when the target system is stopped. That is not an option for many real-time systems, though. This session answers the following two questions: "How do you see what's happening in your system without having to hit a breakpoint?" and "How can you monitor the run-time behavior of your system without potentially interfering with and affecting its dynamics?" The presentation showcases new tools that open windows into the operation of real-time embedded systems. Then it evaluates the benefits of being able to monitor a system dynamically to assess its operation and performance.
