Mieszko K
After enduring the anxiety of waiting for your PCBs and PCBAs to be fabbed and assembled, they finally arrive. You plug in power and... pzzt you smoke it. Panic set's in. You have a deadline. You don't have the right tools to debug the high speed comms. You are worried you will look like a clown for burning $5K on a set of prototypes that are DOA. STOP. Don't panic. There are methods to help you passed this madness and this talk will outline some of the basics and outline some of the more interesting debug solutions in my 25 year career as an embedded systems electrical engineer.
