The chip programming leader ACROVIEW Technology has announced a significant version upgrade of its programming software. Along with the release of the new version, it has also announced the addition of several compatible chip models, including the motor driver chip FU6866Q1 from Fortior Tech. Currently, this chip has successfully completed technical adaptation with ACROVIEW’s universal … Read more
As introduced at the beginning of this chapter, injecting errors into production environments (such as using a “Chaos Monkey”) is a way to enhance recoverability. This section describes the process of rehearsing and injecting faults into the system to ensure that it is designed and built correctly, allowing faults to occur in a specific and … Read more
Earlier this year, I shared some insights on using Go failpoint. If you’re interested, you can check out this article. Failpoints is a tool that allows for the injection of errors or other behaviors at runtime, primarily for testing purposes, including unit tests, integration stress tests, and more. The types of tests include state machine … Read more
Comparison of MIPI Physical Layer Protocols D-PHY & C-PHY (3-phase) The parallel bus uses slow edge signals at low bit rates to reduce EMI (the edge rate and EMI compliance need to be verified in ATE testing). The 3-phase encoding of C-PHY requires testing for inter-symbol interference (ISI) and eye diagram symmetry. The protocol specification … Read more

“When testing the Integral Non-Linearity (INL) and Differential Non-Linearity (DNL) of multi-stage DACs, it is usually unnecessary to perform a full test on all codes. Instead, validation can be achieved by carefully selecting a subset of key codes.” For example: a 16-bit 3-stage DAC, which internally contains 3 sub-DACs (7-bit, 5-bit, 4-bit), requires scanning all … Read more

UML includes various types of diagrams such as use case diagrams, class diagrams, object diagrams, state diagrams, activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams, component diagrams, and deployment diagrams, which are widely used in the stages of requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance in embedded development. The following is a detailed introduction: Requirement Analysis Stage … Read more
The Bluetooth BQB certification (Bluetooth Qualification Body certification) is a compliance certification mandated by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) to ensure that Bluetooth devices meet technical standards and are interoperable. Products that do not pass certification are prohibited from using the Bluetooth trademark or entering the mainstream market. Core requirements for Bluetooth BQB certification: … Read more
