A synthesizer or emulator processes a gate level IC design derived from an RTL design to produce a gate level dump file indicating how signals of the gate level design behave. The gate level dump file is converted into an RTL dump file indicating how signals of the RTL design behave. A debugger processes the RTL dump file to produce displays depicting the RTL design and behavior of signals indicated by the RTL dump file. Thus while the IC is simulated or emulated at the gate level of the design to produce waveform data for a debugger, the gate level-to-RTL dump file conversion process enables a designer debug the more familiar RTL design based on the gate level simulation or emulation results. file conversion process enables a designer debug the more familiar RTL design based on the gate level simulation or emulation results.
