Latest Patents
Harmon holds a patent titled "Method and apparatus for modeling using a hardware-software co-verification environment." This invention provides a method and apparatus for modeling that integrates hardware and software verification. The patent describes an instruction set simulator that is coupled to a simulator circuit to ensure the correctness of hardware designs. The instruction set simulator acts as a "master" to the simulator circuit, facilitating a faster simulation environment. The simulator circuit includes a bus functional model, a hardware model, transfer memory, and the hardware design to be tested. The hardware model is specifically designed to emulate a micro-controller. By disabling a processor within the hardware model, the simulation speed is limited only by the instruction set simulator or the hardware design. Additionally, the hardware design can be uncoupled from the simulator circuit to initialize the operating system. Harmon has 1 patent to his name.
