30Sandeep Dutta | Anatomy of a CompilerA Retargetable ANSI-C CompilerWouldn't it be great if there was an affordable C compiler that was specifically designed to the needs of 8-bit micros? Not to worry, Sandeep explains the inner workings of just such a compiler, which happens to be quite affordable -- it's free!Download: dutta.ZIP Note: Sandeep's biography is corrected in INK #123 Reader I/O. |
36George Novacek | The Joys of Writing SoftwarePart 1: The Battle of the BugNo bugs. No excuses. The way George sees it, the three-finger salute should not be considered an acceptable fix for any software problem. If it means taking more time in the test stages, so be it. That's why test standards exist.Note: Additional discussion from Jack Dennon in INK #122 Reader I/O, Matt Werner in INK #123 Reader I/O, and Ingo Cyliax in INK #125 Reader I/O. |

Embedded PC43Ingo Cyliax | Real-Time PCReal-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems, Part 4: DebuggingIt's time to wrap up this series on RTEMS, so Ingo shows us what it takes to debug an RTEMS application. Working with the run-time debugging environment and the GNU debugger makes the process even easier. |
Embedded PC49Fred Eady | Applied PCsEmbedded Kiosk or Mission Impossible?This project began as a challenge that even Fred couldn't resist (er, avoid). Hidden keyboards, limited access, multiple screens -- the mission had the trimmings of a certified goose chase. The Florida-room clock was ticking... |
58Alan Harry | Who Needs Hardware?Developing Without the TargetIf you're a software designer, you know what it's like to have your hands tied while you wait for hardware to arrive. Alan steps into the Virtual Workshop to demonstrate how you can continue development and testing even without the target hardware.Download: harry.ZIP |
