Abstract
HDL code is used to describe a circuit in an HDL code debugger on a computer system. Circuit simulation data is obtained for the circuit, the simulation data being generated according to the HDL code. A circuit execution time is selected, and the simulation data should at least span the circuit execution time. A debugging element is selected, which is a circuit element in the circuit having a debugging state at the circuit execution time according to the simulation data. A target line of HDL code is then presented to a user. The target line of HDL code is the line of code responsible for setting the debugging element into the debugging state at the circuit execution time.
