Abstract

Approaches are disclosed for testing a module of a circuit design. The module is simulated a first time using a testbench on a programmed processor. Event data is captured to a first file during the simulating. For each event, the event data describes a signal identifier, an associated signal value, and an associated timestamp. The event data of the first file is transformed into a hardware description language (HDL) replay module.
