Abstract
A method is provided for simulating a program executable by a processor and a circuit design configured to communicate with the processor. A processor on a programmable IC is configured to execute the program. Programmable resources on the programmable IC are configured to implement a plurality of interface circuits. Each of the interface circuits is configured to communicate data between the processor and a simulation environment using a respective communication protocol. The interface circuits that uses a communication protocol used by the circuit design is enabled and other ones of the interface circuits are disabled. The circuit design is simulated in a simulation environment coupled to the programmable IC. During the simulating, the program is executed on the processor and data is communicated between the processor and the computing platform using the determined one of the plurality of interface circuits.
