TinyDebug: Multi-Purpose Passive Debugging Framework for Embedded Wireless Systems

Abstract

<span style="font-family: CMR9; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: CMR9; font-size: xx-small;"><p>Debugging embedded wireless systems can be cumbersome</p> <p>due to low visibility. To ease the task of debugging this</p> <p>paper present TinyDebug which is a multi-purpose passive</p> <p>debugging framework for developing embedded wireless sys-</p> <p>tems. TinyDebug is designed to be used throughout the</p> <p>entire system development process, ranging from simulation</p> <p>to actual deployment. TinyDebug provides out-of-the-box</p> <p>message oriented debugging and event logging mechanism</p> <p>while enabling more advanced debugging techniques to pro-</p> <p>cess the same debug events.</p> <p>We present the TinyDebug framework with all its features</p> <p>from event logging to extraction and show how the frame-</p> <p>work improves upon existing message based and event log-</p> <p>ging debugging techniques while enabling distributed event</p> <p>processing. We also present a number of optional event anal-</p> <p>ysis tools demon</p></span></span>

Development of a Test-Bench for Evaluating the Embedded Implementation of the Improved Elephant Herding Optimization Algorithm Applied to Energy-Based Acoustic Localization

“…When considering the application level, debugging frameworks are usually used for debugging, verifying, and classifying some performance or behaviors. Implementation examples can be found regarding embedded wireless sensors [38], web-based sensors [39], Internet of Things devices [40], power quality sensor nodes [41], or cyber-physical automation systems [42]. Application-specific debugging is known for the decrease in development cost and time of faulty stage detection [43].…”
