Evaluation device consisting of a logic simulator and a simulation result table

Abstract

Evaluation by logic simulation can be favorably performed. A target packet determination part determines if a target packet which is a response packet that is to be transmitted with respect to a request packet that is received is in a simulation result table. When there is a target packet, a response packet output reads out and transmits the target packet from the simulation result table. On the other hand, when there is no target packet, a system controller forces a logic simulator to perform logic simulation regarding the received request packet, disconnects a connection with an opposing connection device, so as to perform reconnection after completion of the logic simulation by the logic simulator. A table generating part writes the request packet and the response packet obtained by the logic simulator into the simulation result table, the request packet and the response packet being made correspondent to each other.
