ABSTRACT:
The present invention enhances the Direct Access Stimulus (DAS) interface presently employed within a logic simulation hardware emulator to provide alternative stimulus to signals internal to a model actively running on a logic simulation hardware emulator. The present invention accomplishes this by introducing a set of special logic within the logic model to provide an alternate source for selected signals, identifies the special logic so that it is subsequently connected directly to the DAS card interface, and adds information to a symbol table so that this special logic can be identified as signal accessible through the DAS card interface. At runtime, when the user control program accesses facilities that have been connected to the DAS card interface, a set of special routines automatically reference the symbol table information to access the special logic that is connected to the DAS card interface.
