Abstract
Target device monitoring systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a target device monitoring update method includes receiving a change in design element value in real time, wherein the design element values are associated with an operating target device. The changes in the design element value are analyzed. Express interface information is updated in accordance with results of the analyzing.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving information indicative of a change in a first design element value, wherein the first design element value is associated with a first component of an operating target device, wherein the operation of the target device includes executing instructions;
- determining, in response to receiving the information indicative of a change in the first design element value, whether a second design element value has changed, wherein the second design element value is associated with a second component of the target device;
- and
- updating express interface information in accordance with results of the determining.
An express design system comprising:
- a target device configured to implement a variety of configurations and functionalities;
- a host computer system configured to create a design definition of the variety of configuration and functionalities and to monitor operations of the target device, the host computer system being configured to determine, in response to receiving information indicative of a change in a first design element value, whether a second design element value changed, the first design element value being associated with a first component of the target device and the second design element value being associated with a second component of the target device;
- and
- a board monitor component configured to interface between the host computer system and the target device while the target device is executing instructions.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing instructions directing a processor's operations, wherein the instructions comprise:
- directing monitoring of values from an operating target device, the values comprising at least a first design element value associated with a first component of the target device and a second design element value associated with a second component of the target device, wherein the operation of the target device includes executing instructions;
- evaluating the values, wherein the evaluating comprises determining, in response to receiving information indicative of a change in the first design element value, whether the second design element value has changed;
- and
- altering express interface information based on the outcome of the evaluating.
