Rapid Input/Output Probing Apparatus and Input/Output Probing Method Using the Same, and Mixed Emulation/Simulation Method Based on It

摘要

The present invention relates to a rapid input / output probe device that enables an effective debugging method for design verification and inspection of a designed digital circuit, an input / output probe method using the same, and an emulation / simulation distributed design verification and inspection method on a network based on the same. will be.;In the present invention, the input / output probe system software of the present invention, which is performed on an arbitrary server computer, adds a probe additional circuit that enables the input / output probe to the circuit for design verification and inspection, thereby automating the expanded circuit capable of the input / output probe. To create it in a way. In addition, the input / output probe interface module of the present invention connects the hardware board in which the extended circuit capable of the input / output probe is implemented as a hardware chip and the server computer, and controls the performance of the hardware board while controlling the hardware at a specific time point or under specific conditions. The input / output probe of the hardware chip on the board is performed to exchange performance result information about the design verification and inspection target circuit between the server computer and the hardware chip. In addition, emulation and simulation may be alternately performed one or more times in a distributed environment such as any simulation server computer that simulates the design verification and inspection target circuit that is networked with the server computer.
