Degugging embedded software is not easy. There is no terminal to display what is going on. Engineers need to implement smart mechanisms to visualise the flow of their code and spot errors without impacting the performance and functionality of the original software. The simplest techniques used in embedded debugging are blinking LEDs and UART loggin…
