Method, apparatus and program storage device for analyzing an electronic circuit

摘要

Herein disclosed is an electronic circuit analyzing apparatus (30) for analyzing an electronic circuit (140) with the aid of a computer (20). The electronic circuit analyzing apparatus (30) is controlled by the computer (20) in accordance with a predetermined analysis program (100) to access the electronic circuit (140). The electronic circuit (140) includes a storage device (142) for storing therein a target program and a target central processing unit (141) for executing the target program. The electronic circuit analyzing apparatus (30) comprises executing means (101) capable of executing the target program instead of the target central processing unit (141) of the electronic circuit (140) to obtain an execution result; storing means (102) capable of having the execution result stored therein; first mapping means (103) for mapping the storing means (102) into the main memory (22) of the computer (20) to form a first memory map (M11); second mapping means (104) for mapping the storage device (142) of the electronic circuit (140) into the storing means (102) to form a second memory map (M12); instructing means (108) for instructing the executing means (101) to execute the target program and have the execution result stored in the storing means (102) in accordance with the second memory map (M12); reading means (109) for reading out the stored execution result from the storing means (102) in accordance with the first memory map (M11); and analyzing means (110) for analyzing the electronic circuit (140) on the basis of the read execution result. The electronic circuit analyzing apparatus (30) thus constructed described above can read out the execution result with ease and make an advanced analysis of the electronic circuit (140) on the basis of the read execution result without complicated operations. <IMAGE>
