ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for debugging software and/or hardware are disclosed. A processor may execute a program for a certain amount of time. The context of the processor at the end of that time may then be made available to a simulator operable to simulate the processor. The program can then be executed from that point on the simulator using the context. Additionally, a context resulting from the execution of the program on the simulator may result and be restored to the processor for continued execution.
