Faster debug and trace and with ARM System Trace Macrocell (STM) explained in new eBook

Richardson, TX (January 21, 2014) ? Accelerating software development by finding code bugs faster is quite challenging for systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) because of multithreaded software, multiple processing cores of different types and other factors. A new eBook published by ASSET® InterTech explains System Trace Macrocell (STM), a relatively new code tracing capability that gives much more visibility into changing system states so that the causes of bugs becomes more apparent. ASSET (www.asset-intertech.com) is the leading supplier of debug, validation and test tools that take advantage of embedded instrumentation. 

?The old model of simply tracing the executed instruction stream is far from sufficient to understand what is going on within the SoC,? said Larry Traylor, author of the eBook and vice president of Arium? software debug and trace tools for ASSET. ?However, real-time tracing is still one of the most effective tools available for finding the root-causes of catastrophic symptoms. STM is a newer trace element which, when integrated into an ARM® CoreSight® trace structure, can provide the added event and data value tracing necessary to render and observe changes in the state of the system.?

Titled ?Debug and Trace Using ARM System Trace Macrocell (STM),?the new eBook is available now on the ASSET website in the eResources center athttp://www.arium.com/articles/103/Debug-and-Trace-using-ARM%C2%AE-System-Trace-Macrocell-|-STM.htm

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.

IoT Data Analysis at the Edge
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and STMicroelectronics
No longer is machine learning a niche application for electronic engineering. Machine learning is leading a transformative revolution in a variety of electronic designs but implementing machine learning can be a tricky task to complete. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Louis Gobin from STMicroelectronics investigate how STMicroelectronics is helping embedded developers design edge AI solutions. They take a closer look at the benefits of STMicroelectronics NanoEdge-AI® Studio and  STM32Cube.AI and how you can take advantage of them in your next design.
