ABSTRACT:
Partially opaque intellectual property (IP) includes source code providing the IP functionality. Meta-comments (pragmas or attributes) are provided with the source code to enable visibility of one or more nodes in the IP. Aliasing of the visibility-enabled nodes may also be provided for using meta-comments in the IP source code. The visibility-enabled nodes may be used by system designers in debugging a system design in either a software simulation environment and/or in debugging of a hardware device implementing the partially opaque IP.
