Packet Plus Brings Debugging to Networking Engineers

by Kevin Morris

Networking engineers are some of the best and brightest among us. There are good reasons for this. Designing networking equipment is a demanding discipline, spanning a wide gamut of areas from analog and signal integrity to digital design to software - and integrating all of these elements at something near their maximum performance potential. In order to get a competitive piece of network hardware out the door, you are literally designing at the bleeding edge of everything.  Read More

MEMS Tool Upgrade

posted by Bryon Moyer

Design tools for MEMS are very different from design tools for circuits – simply because you’re solving mechanical problems. Yesterday, Coventor announced some upgrades to their MEMS design tools. (1-Feb)

Describing User-Defined Faults

posted by Bryon Moyer

The Cell-Aware fault modeling approach allows ad hoc faults to be identified, but how do you communicate those faults to the test-generation tools? Especially if you have some faults you want to define by hand? (28-Nov)

Power Contributors

posted by Bryon Moyer

Unlike delay, it’s looking like the various contributors to circuit power can be disentangled, simplifying modeling work. (1-Nov)

Bridging Digital and Custom Domains

posted by Bryon Moyer

Synopsys makes it easier to work in both domains. That is, without making it so easy that there’s only one domain… (17-Oct)

Yield Correlations Get Continued Focus

posted by Bryon Moyer

ITC happened a couple weeks ago, and that’s when lots of test- and yield-related announcements come out of hibernation. Improving yield was a focus of at least two companies. (7-Oct)

After software, what's next?

During six-plus decades of adherence to the Turing paradigm, the computer field has reaped the benefits of ever- faster and -denser (and -reliable) hardware. Over the same span of decades, the creation and maintenance of software hasn’t gotten any easier ...

Yes, there are several open source tools that are useful, including Wireshark and SCAPY, among others. The P+ 1000 provides additional control and interactivity that is not available with any open source or other commercial tools.

For example, using...

Why Use an 8-bit Core When 32 Bits Are Better?

In other news, they hold another kind of 8k mcu demo compo in France; spooky computation at EU distance.
