Introduction

The Cortex-M3 processor comes with a number of debugging components used to provide debugging features such as breakpoint, watchpoint, Flash patch, and trace. If you are an application developer, there might be a chance that you’ll never need to know the details about these debugging components, because they are normally used only by debugger tools. This chapter will introduce you to the basics of each debug ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
