ABSTRACT:
An emulator for emulating operations of data processing circuitry normally connected to and cooperable with a peripheral circuit includes serial scanning circuitry connectable to the peripheral circuit in substitution for the data processing circuitry. The serial scanning circuitry provides to and receives from the peripheral circuit signals which would normally be provided and received by the data processing circuitry. The serial scanning circuitry is connectable to an emulation controller for permitting serial data transfer between the emulation controller and the emulator. The emulator further includes control circuitry connected to the serial scanning circuitry and connectable to the emulation controller. The control circuitry permits the serial scanning circuitry to provide and receive the aforementioned signals while serial data is being transferred in a continuous serial data stream between the emulation controller and the serial scanning circuitry.
