Abstract
A computer-based system for testing a circuit design for implementation within an integrated circuit device can include a design application () providing simulation instructions for testing a circuit design and a simulation driver () receiving the simulation instructions and translating the simulation instructions into control protocol instructions specifying operations of an integrated circuit control protocol. The system can include a simulation environment (). The simulation environment can include a communication module () communicating with the simulation driver, a simulation cable driver () receiving the control protocol instructions from the simulation driver via the communication module, and a control module (). The simulation cable driver further can translate the control protocol instructions into signaling information corresponding to the integrated circuit control protocol. The control module can include a plurality of ports receiving the signaling information and outputting the signaling information to a device under test within the simulation environment.
