If I Only Changed the Software, Why is the Phone on Fire?: Embedded Debugging Methods Revealed manages the unthinkable- it conveys crucial technical information to engineers without boring them to tears! In this unique reference, expert embedded designer Lisa Simone provides the solutions to typical embedded software debugging problems from a fresh new perspective. She introduces a team of engineers who readers will recognize from their own workplaces, and then confronts them with real-world debugging scenarios of progressive complexity, drawing the reader into the “mysteries” with their new fictional colleagues, and guiding them step-by-step toward successful solutions.
Unique format casts the reader as "technical detective" by presenting a new mystery in every chapter
Not another dry technical book! Conversational tone and intriguing quandaries draw the reader into the action, while teaching crucial debugging skills
The final chapter, a summary of the smart debugging techniques introduced throughout the book, is a quick reference to help solve future problems
