Abstract
A cooperation verifying apparatus includes a storage unit and a processing unit. The processing unit simulates a software-based portion and a hardware-based portion in a target system, issues instruction signals from the software-based portion to the hardware-based portion in order during the simulation, stores a data of a progress state of the simulation of the software-based portion in the storage unit, stores the instruction signals in an order of reception as an input history in the storage unit and associates the input history with the progress state data.
Claims17
A cooperation verifying apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit;
- and
- a processing unit configured to simulate a software-based portion and a hardware-based portion in a target system, to issue instruction signals from the software-based portion to the hardware-based portion in order during the simulation, to store a data of a progress state of the simulation of the software-based portion in the storage unit, to store the instruction signals in an order of reception as an input history in the storage unit and to associate the input history with the progress state data.
A method of cooperation verification, comprising:
- simulating a software-based portion and a hardware-based portion in a target system;
- issuing instruction signals from the software-based portion to the hardware-based portion in order during the simulation;
- storing a data of a progress state of the simulation of the software-based portion in a storage unit;
- storing the instruction signals in an order of reception as an input history in the storage unit;
- and
- associating the input history with the progress state data.
A computer-readable software product comprising codes, executed by a computer, for a method of cooperation verification, wherein said method comprises:
- simulating a software-based portion and a hardware-based portion in a target system;
- issuing instruction signals from the software-based portion to the hardware-based portion in order during the simulation;
- storing a data of a progress state of the simulation of the software-based portion in a storage unit;
- storing the instruction signals in an order of reception as an input history in the storage unit;
- and
- associating the input history with the progress state data.
