Nash's Four Favorite Firmware Debug Tools

Firmware is an essential part of every modern electronic system. Try as we might to achieve perfection in our firmware, things will, inevitably, start to act funny. And when they do, it’s time for debugging! While a poor craftsman chooses to blame his tools, proper tooling can speed you to a robust diagnosis and an expeditious fix. Here are four of my favorite friends for finding and fixing firmware flaws.

Tracing & Logging with the `TRICE` Library (Interrupts too!)

Embedded engineers need something as easy to use as printf, usable within interrupts, small enough for today’s MCU’s, and have minimal performance impact when running. The Trice technique tries to fill this gap. It is the result of a long-year dissatisfaction and several attempts to find a loophole to make embedded programming more fun and effective.
