Abstract:
Capturing interconnectivity data for one or more multi-pin devices in the design of emulator circuit boards is automated using a translator that extracts relevant information, from a text-based input/output (I/O) definition file. The I/O definition file contains textual descriptions of I/O connectivity information for the various devices created by partitioning the design for application on the emulator circuit board, undefined connector interface entries, and design-specific information. The translator parses through the I/O definition file extracting the I/O connectivity and design-specific information, and retrieves connector interface definitions for the undefined connector interface entries using vendor data.
