I’m retired now, but for 30 years I debugged problems in bleeding-edge IBM processors, horizontal microcode, firmware, ...

Make it a habit to dig deeper and find more information about the issue before starting to debug a non-trivial issue. For example: is this a new problem? If so, starting when? Is this only visible to ...

The title “analog debugging” seems a bit enigmatic. After reading it, an embedded firmware developer may suffer from cognitive dissonance; but trust me, it will make sense later. What the title ...
