Abstract
A host computer includes a memory storing a proxy VM, and a host CPU. The proxy VM emulates target hardware having an incomplete design. The proxy VM includes a virtual processor for emulating a target processor. The proxy VM includes an emulated memory coupled to the virtual processor over a virtual memory bus. The emulated memory includes at least one portion storing the target code. The host CPU is configured to execute the proxy VM to emulate the target hardware. The proxy VM, upon execution by the host CPU, is configured to execute, by the virtual processor, the target code.
