Book Description:
Are you truly unlocking the full potential of your embedded debugging tools? This hands-on guide cuts through the confusion of common workflows and shows you how to trace, profile, and debug ARM-based systems like a professional firmware engineer.
Written by an industry expert, this book guides you through practical debugging scenarios using real hardware setups. You'll explore both essential and advanced techniques, from setting breakpoints and analyzing memory to using hardware tracing, power profiling, and RTOS awareness. Through real-world crash analysis, you'll learn how to detect stack overflows, communication errors, memory leaks, and more.
You will explore practical examples based on ARM Cortex-M target devices, which help you build structured and efficient debugging workflows. The learned skills can then be easily applied to other chip architectures as well. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of the tools available, how to apply them in complex firmware projects, and the confidence to tackle even the most elusive bugs in production systems.
Whether you're refining your setup or debugging embedded systems at scale, this book will sharpen your skills and elevate your embedded development workflow.
