Readers of previous blog entries know that we at Joral Technologies are very big on the ARM Cortex M3 architecture. Among the many reasons for this is the superior debugging capabilities afforded by the CoreSight debug architecture. How do you like the idea of monitoring variable values in real time without stealing clock cycles or implementing instrumentation. Watch this space for our upcoming piece on Cortex M3 debugging where we will discuss and elucidate SWD, SWV, SWO, ETM and all the other debugging acronyms that developers should know about.
