교환기 소프트웨어 개발에 많은 언어가 사용되고 있으나, 현재 우리나라의 교환기 제조업체 대부분은 ITU-T에서 통신 소프트웨어 개발 언어로 권고하는 CHILL 언어를 사용하고 있다. CHILL은 엄격한 타입 검사, 구조적 프로그래밍, 모듈화, 병렬 처리 기능을 특징으로 하고 있다. LG정보통신에서는 이러한 CHILL 프로그램의 시험 및 디버깅을 위하여 GNU Debugger(GDB)를 기반으로 CHILL 교차 디버거인 LGDB(LG Debugger)를 개발하였다. LGDB는 현재 사용 중인 대부분의 마이크로 프로세서를 지원하며, 호스트에서 개발한 프로그램들이 교환기 시스템과 같은 목적 시스템 상에서 정상적으로 실행되는지 검사하고, 만약 오류가 발생하였을 경우 이를 추적하여 수정하는 기능을 제공한다. 점차 대용량화, 고성능화가 요구되고 있는 교환기 개발 프로젝트의 추세를 감안할 때, LGDB는 교환기 소프트웨어의 품질 및 생산성 향상에 매우 높은 기여를 할 것이다.

We present a new technique, called VED (very effective debugging), for detecting and correcting division by zero errors for all types of .NET application. We use applications written in C# because C# applications are distributed through the internet and its executable format is used extensively. A tool called Immunity Debugger is used to reverse engineer executable code to get binaries of source code. With this technique, we demonstrate integer division by zero errors, the location of the error causing assembly language code, as well as error recovery done according to user preference. This technique can be extended to work for other programming languages in addition to C#. VED can work on different platforms such as Linux. This technique is simple to implement and economical because all the software used here are open source. Our aims are to simplify the maintenance process and to reduce the cost of the software development life cycle.

With the rapid growth of Internet, many devices such as Web TVs, PDAs and Web phones, begin to be directly connected to the Internet. These devices need real-time operating systems (RTOS) to support complex real-time applications running on them. Development of such real-time applications called embedded internet applications, is difficult due to the lack of adequate tools, especially debuggers. In this paper we present a new tracepoint debugging tool for the Qplus-T RTOS embedded system, which facilitates the instrumentations of the real-time software applications with timing trace-points. Compared with traditional breakpoint debugger, this trace-point debugger provides the ability to dynamically collect and record application data for on-line examination and for further off-line analysis. And, the trace-points can also provide the means for assigning new values to the running application's variables, without neither halting its execution nor interfering with its natural execution flow. Our trace-point debugger provides a highly efficient method for adding numerous monitoring trace-points within a real time target application such as Qplus-T internet applications, utilizing these trace-points to monitor and to analyze the application's behavior while it is running. And also, our trace debugger is different from previous one in that we can specify and detect the timing violations using its RTL (Real-Time Logic) trace experiments.

Nowadays, the SoC is watched by all over the world with interest. The design trend of the SoC is hardware and software co-design which includes the design of hardware structure in RTL level and the development of embedded software. Also the technology is toward deep-submicron and the observability of the SoC's internal state is not easy. Because of the above reasons, the SoC debug is very difficult and time-consuming. So we need a reliable debugger to find the bugs in the SoC and embedded software. In this paper, we developed a hardware debugger named OCD. It is based on IEEE 1140.1 JTAG standard. In order to verify the operation of OCD, it is integrated into the 32bit RISC processor - Core-A (Core-A is the unique embedded processor designed by Korea) and is tested by interconnecting with software debugger. When embedding the OCD in Core-A, there is 14.7% gate count overhead. We can modify the DCU which occupies 2% gate count in OCD to adapt with other processors as a debugger.

Effective use of debugging in computer science education is a topic that has received little attention. Existing tools either are too overwhelming for the novice or are too basic and inflexible. Furthermore, the integration of the debugger into complex IDEs have unfamiliar debuggers from students, resulting in a harmful proliferation of console I/O. In this paper, a new stand-alone educational debugging tool is presented, with simple but powerful tools for easily observing and modifying program execution state. This tool is analyzed from an user perspective, and is compared with existing tools.

In a distributed real-time system(DRTS), testing and debugging are difficult and critical procedures since they implies several problems like probe effects, nondeterminism, and complex communication patterns. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a real-time monitor for ARM processors which are frequently used for embedded applications. The focus of design is to help users debug real-time programs while minimizing the probe effect. Our monitor provides cross debugging features like down-loading from host, break-point based debugging features, and watch-point debugging features for real-time applications. We developed the debugger for ARM processor and debugger has been used for kernel program.

빠른 IT기술의 발전과 함께 휴대폰 시장 역시 대량생산에서 벗어난 차별적인 모델을 개발하기 위해 많은 개발자들이 연구 중에 있다. 개발자들이 빠르고 안정적인 응용 프로그램을 개발하기 위해 디버거를 필요로 하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 하드웨어 디버거를 이용하면 별도의 추가비용과 장비를 휴대해야 하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동성 보장과 디버거 장치 추가비용의 절감을 위한 소프트웨어 리모트 디버거의 기능중 하나인 메모리뷰에 대해서 알아보고 큰 용량의 디버깅 작업을 빠르고 쉽게 처리 할 수 있는 메모리 뷰의 속도 향상 알고리즘에 관하여 논한다.

Although the use of NC machine is increasing in modern industry, unfamiliarities of the NC program syntax do not allow us to program it easily. So, automatic programming systems, such as APT, COMPACT, CL, were developed to help the uninitiated to write NC program easily. In this research, Korean Automatic Programming System for 2-axis NC lathe is developed, by which NC program is easily programmed using Korean letters. In addition, Graphic Debugger for 2-axis NC lathe is developed for debugging the NC program error and animating the cutting process. The above systems are run on the IBM-PC/XT.

One of the reasons that debugging distributed programs is much more difficult than sequential programs is the communication among processes. Even though there are many debuggers constructed on distributed system environment, no available debugger provides an efficient way to debug communication events.. In this paper, we show the way to debug RPC communication, which is regarded as one of the most popular communication protocol in distributed system development. This paper presents the implementation of the RPC event trace function based on the RPC event model, which is proposed to accommodate communication events into debugging objects. Analyzing conventional RPC protocols, we formalized library function calls as corresponding actions to sending and receiving of messages. B recognizing the locations of library calls the debugger can detect all occurrences of communication events, This RPC event trace function is implemented on the on-line distributed debugger UniVIEW system.

Debugging embedded softwares is very different from debugging general softwares. For examples, debugging embedded software requires more information, such as information on power consumption, information on the distribution of executed instructions, information on the distribution of used registers, and information on the amount of clocks consumed during the execution of a program, that is not needed in debugging general softwares. In this paper, we propose more effective method fer debugging embedded softwares using an instruction set simulator for the microprocessor that is executing embedded softwares. In this research, we develop a debugger based on an instruction set simulator for a domestic embedded microprocessor called SE1608 and we shows an effective debugging method using a MiBench program which is widely used to benchmark embedded softwares. The debugging method proposed in this paper is relatively easy to implement and shows many advantages compared with existing debugging methods.
