In the last episode, I got the Sato SDK Yocto image running on my MinnowBoard, and explored some of the debug and trace tools therein. This week, I took a side trip to see if I could get the Yocto image running within Oracle’s VirtualBox.

Moving run-control (Intel In-Target Probe, or ITP) down into the service processor on an x86 design results in a screamingly fast, scalable implementation of at-scale debug. This article contains some timing benchmarks of our embedded solution versus alternatives. The results are nothing short of astonishing.

In previous articles, I’ve written about the use of JTAG-based run-control for remote debug. Facebook presented an example of this a few weeks ago at the Open Compute Summit. This blog describes the real-time performance of such a BIST we designed for PCI Express link training tests.
