Method and device for the preservation of a state of a circuit under test emule in a emulator and its environment of the test piece of software and process and device for recovering the corresponding

摘要

The environment of the test uses at least an applicative software, free of a mechanism capable of preserving its state, executed on a host station; the emulator communicates with the writing process applicative software by means of a shared memory; the method comprises a stop (20) of the applicative software with solidification (21) of test data and the address pointers in the shared memory, a stopping of the emulator, the writing of data by the emulator in the shared memory between the stopping of the process and the stopping of the software emulating is only authorized in the presence of memory locations available in the shared memory, a backup (27) of a first file (f1) representative of the state of the emulator when stopped, a disconnection (28) of the applicative software of the management module of the interface with the host station, and a backup (29) of a file of executable program (f2) representative of the state of the applicative software when it is stopped.
