Continuous Observability in Automotive Development

As the automotive industry advances toward increasingly software-defined vehicles, the complexity of embedded systems is rising dramatically. From electrified powertrains to autonomous features and over-the-air updates, modern vehicles now function as distributed computing platforms with strict real-time constraints and safety-critical responsibilities.

In this landscape, ensuring software correctness, reliability, and traceability is no longer a late-stage testing concern, it must be a continuous effort. This is where the concept of continuous observability becomes essential.

Debugging Embedded Firmware Issues

Debugging Embedded Firmware Issues

Firmware on embedded devices can freeze, overload, or behave unpredictably, leaving developers frustrated because traditional debugging tools often miss these issues. Intermittent problems, like a device requiring a power cycle, leave no diagnostic data in RAM, making it hard to understand what went wrong. Timing-related bugs are especially tricky, as standard logs or breakpoints cannot capture missing events.

Percepio releases Detect 2025.2 with new TaskMonitor feature to identify firmware freezes

Percepio releases Detect 2025.2 with new TaskMonitor feature to identify firmware freezes

Percepio announced the release of Detect 2025.2 with new TaskMonitor, a feature designed to automatically identify firmware freezes, overloads, and timing anomalies – issues that often evade traditional debugging tools. Detect 2025.2 builds on Percepio’s self-hosted observability framework, which offers unlimited on-device monitoring and a “security-camera-style” trace capture system that records only when irregular events occur.
