Abstract
An aspect includes driving a plurality of commands to an interface unit of a circuit design in a hardware-accelerated simulator to dynamically initialize the circuit design to run one or more test cases based on an initialization sequence with breakpoint support. A state of the circuit design is examined through the interface unit based on triggering of a breakpoint on the hardware-accelerated simulator. A next action to perform in the initialization sequence is determined based on the state of the circuit design as determined through the interface unit.
