EMULATION APPARATUS OF ELECTRONIC HARDWARE SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE: To automatically develop an integrated circuit and a system fat high speed by making a gate array capable of electrically programming with respect to an emulation array which a device has and executing a necessary logic function. CONSTITUTION: An input data operation part 12 is provided, and information showing an electronic circuit or the system which a user is to emulate is inputted into it. Constitution information generated in an input data operation part 12 is transmitted to a constitution unit 14. The constitution unit 14 contains a circuit required for programming the gate array which can be programmed in the emulation array 16. The emulation array 16 contains plural gate array devices 18 which can be programmed and the gate arrays 18 execute logic and connect signals between fixed printed circuit boards. Thus, the step of manual work is eliminated and a high speed processing becomes possible.
