Abstract
An in-circuit emulator is inserted in a CPU socket of a target system that uses a program designed to use virtual addresses. The in-circuit emulator includes a first emulation processor for emulating execution of the program of the target system, a second emulation processor having the same arrangement as that of the first emulation processor, for outputting a virtual address corresponding to a physical address output from the first emulation processor, and a means for outputting a break request signal when a virtual address at a desired breakpoint in the program and the output virtual address do not coincide with each other.
