Abstract: An hardware emulation environment is disclosed wherein software execution is accelerated by switching memory and/or peripheral and clock implementation from the hardware emulator toga faster running processor board coupled to the hardware emulator. A switch is positioned between the hardware emulator and a processor running on the processor board. A design block implemented on a dedicated resource, such as memory or a peripheral, is located on the processor board and is designed to functionally mimic a design block modelled in programmable resources in the hardware emulator. In one embodiment, a user selectively configures a switch to accelerate the software execution by choosing a trigger event, such as a memory range or a software breakpoint. Upon detecting the trigger event, the switch switches the clock and/or bus routing so that the processor communicates directly with the design block on the processor board, rather than with a functionally equivalent design block in the hardware emulator.

Abstract: A wide angle reflector which can work in conjunction with a wide-angle sensor system for testing the wide angle reflector. In this case, reflex sensors transmit light onto a cube corner part surface, and measure the retro-reflected light. If the direction of irradiation of the light deviates too strongly from the normal to the cube corner part surface, the retro-reflective light, which serves as signal, is retro-reflected too weakly, or is not retro-reflected at all to the transmitter. This wide-angle sensor system with a cube corner part surface permits the observation of a large surface with an aperture angle of 80° and more. In addition, the wide-angle sensor system with cube corner part surface comprises a gauge for selecting the observation angle and the cube corner part surface which comprises a multiplicity of cube corners.
