System and method for visualizing event sequences for expressions using both hardware and software state information

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for use in an electronic design environment. Embodiments may include receiving, using at least one processor, an electronic design and generating a unique name for each hardware state element associated with the electronic design. Embodiments may further include generating a unique name for each software state element associated with the electronic design. Embodiments may also include combining a plurality of unique names into an arbitrary expression, wherein the plurality of unique names includes at least one software state unique name and at least one hardware state unique name. Embodiments may further include evaluating the arbitrary expression at one or more discrete time points. Embodiments may also include recording an evaluated expression in an electronic design database.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
