Abstract
An emulation environment includes a host system and an emulator. The host system configures the emulator to emulate a design under test (DUT) and the emulator emulates the DUT accordingly. During emulation, the emulator traces limited signals of the DUT and stores values of the traced signals. When values of certain signals of the DUT are needed for analysis or verification of the DUT but the signals were not traced by the emulator, the host system simulates one or more sections of the DUT to obtain values of the signals. Signals traced by the emulator are used as inputs to simulate the one or more sections.
