Smalltalk debug lives in the matrix

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Picard, Damien Lagadec, Loic
Abstract	Agile programming aware computer scientists know how much productivity they owe to their development environments, and more precisely to advanced debuggers. Indeed, debuggers are mandatory to support an optimistic do-fix-rerun approach. This development scheme does not make sense in hardware design where agile has a different meaning; it refers to reconfigurable architectures. Despite such architectures support tailoring and refactoring application circuits and promote short development cycles, the overall programing scheme still conforms to waterfall models and component based integration. This paper presents a path to offer probe-based development to hardware designers, and introduces our Red Pill environment that merges several abstraction levels ranging from C like parallel coding to hardware realization embedding debug facility. Red Pill is developed using VisualWorks and reproduces some of Cincom Smalltalk browser well known features that traditionally lack when validating circuits.
