Behind the Bug: Real Lessons from Embedded Firmware Failures

PBS Auditorium | Floor 0


The session shares a real debugging stories from embedded firmware projects where seemingly correct code can lead to unexpected failures. It is focused on how hardware-software interactions, hidden system states and overlooked assumptions can cause persistent issues. Through practical examples, the talk will demonstrate how to uncover the real root causes. Attendees will gain a structured way of thinking on debugging beyond just using tools and how small oversights can lead to persistent system failures.
