Intel CScripts are very valuable for debug and validation of everything from smartphones to servers. They acquire even more power when they can be applied remotely.
Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) form the brains of any high-end Intel-based server platform: they perform system management functions ranging from fan speed control to remote user authentication. A new wave of these service processors is coming to market to support new capabilities needed on the next generation of Intel silicon. What are these unique features, and how will they be debugged?
Just this past week, Intel announced the Innovation Engine, a small Intel architecture processor and I/O sub-system embedded into their upcoming generations of server platforms. What is its purpose, and what new applications can run on it?
In my last blog, I reviewed the difference between Run-Control and Trace, as two powerful debugging technologies. How are they used together to dramatically improve the chances of catching an intermittent bug?
