摘要: The present invention relates to a system (10) and method for making electronic circuits comprising elements or elementary circuit blocks which can be implemented either in the form of physical circuits, for instance FPGA, or in the form of firmware, for instance memorised on microprocessor. Thanks to the methodology used to describe the circuit blocks (26a, 26b) and their functional models (21), the system (10) and method allow to execute with a WS (11) and an emulator subsystem (30), in a single integrated environment, both the functional simulation of the model of complex electronic circuit and the emulation of the electronic circuit itself. Moreover, thanks to the characteristics of intrinsic congruence between the circuit blocks (26a, 26b) and their models (21), the emulation of the complex electronic circuit can be effected using alternatively circuit blocks implemented on the emulator subsystem either in the form of hardware (26a) or in the form of firmware (26b).
