Abstract
A program (818) utilizes a functional description of a data processor to verify that the operations requested by the user are valid in the current context of the development environment (10). The program performs each of these functions by checking both physical (820) and contextual rules (838) stored in a memory (9). The program ensures that registers and memory in the data processor cannot be illegally configured and, therefore, fewer programming errors will occur during the development stages of a new data processing system.
