A computer-aided circuit design application has a virtual node feature and a design tool. The virtual node feature is adapted to access design specification information in a first data format and to represent the accessed design specification information as a virtual data node object within a list of node objects in a second data format. The design tool is operable on the list of node objects and the virtual data node object.

Virtual data representation through selective bidirectional translation

A transaction tracing circuit for use with a bus bridge that is couplable to at least a first and second bus. The transaction tracing circuit includes at least one set of trace control registers that is associated with a transaction tracing function for tracing a specific transaction occurring on the bus bridge. A number of bus transaction tracing circuits, one for each bus to which the bridge is connected, are coupled to the trace control registers and are utilized to store is transactions that are captured as they occur on the individual buses. An internal transaction tracing circuit is coupled to the trace control registers and is utilized for storing captured internal transaction information corresponding to the specific internal transaction.
