The present disclosure relates to a method for use with an electronic design. Embodiments may include simulating a processor model and a hardware model, each executed with a corresponding simulator thread on a simulation platform. Embodiments may also include simulating embedded software using the processor model. The simulating may include updating a given register of the processor model that stores a value that changes in response to switching between processes within the embedded software. Embodiments may further include setting a simulator breakpoint and a software breakpoint and enabling debugging of both non-virtual and virtual addresses at the software breakpoint without leaving the software breakpoint.
