The method of emulating the design under test associated with a test environment comprises two distinct generating phases comprising a first phase of generating (80) a first file (FCH1) for configuring the test environment, and a second phase of generating (81) a second file (FCH2) for configuring at least a part of the design under test, the delivery of the first configuration file to a first reconfigurable hardware part (BTR) forming a reconfigurable test bench so as to configure the test bench, and the delivery of the second configuration file to a second reconfigurable hardware part (EML) so as to configure an emulator of the design under test, the two hardware parts being distinct and mutually connected.
Method of emulating a design under test associated with a test environment, characterized in that it comprises two distinct generating phases comprising a first phase of generating (80) a first file (FCH1) for configuring the test environment, and a second phase of generating (81) a second file (FCH2) for configuring at least a part of the design under test, the delivery of the first configuration file to a first reconfigurable hardware part (BTR) forming a reconfigurable test bench so as to configure the test bench, and the delivery of the second configuration file to a second reconfigurable hardware part (EML) so as to configure an emulator of the design under test, the two hardware parts being distinct and mutually connected.
Method according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first generating phase (80) and the second generating phase (81) are performed in parallel.
Emulation system, intended to emulate a design under test associated with a test environment, characterized in that it comprises a reconfigurable hardware test bench (BTR) capable of emulating a part at least of the test environment, this test bench being connected between a host computer and a reconfigurable hardware emulator (EML), distinct from the test bench, and capable of emulating at least a part of the design under test, first generating means able to generate a first file for configuring the test environment, and second generating means able to generate a second file for configuring the design under test.
Electronic card, intended to be connected to the mother card of a host computer, characterized in that it comprises a reconfigurable hardware test bench (BTR) capable of emulating a part at least of a test environment associated with a design under test, and a reconfigurable hardware emulator (EML), distinct from the test bench, connected to the reconfigurable test bench and capable of emulating at least a part of the design under test.
