Abstract

A program data creating method and apparatus for use with programmable devices in a logic emulation system provides high-speed logic emulation of an LSI for logic and function verification. The logic data defining the logic circuits of the LSI is divided into a plurality of unit blocks in a layout analogous to the floor plan represented by floor plan information for the LSI. The unit blocks are allocated to the programmable devices automatically. The names of the signals defined within the design data regarding the LSI are made to correspond with the names of the signals in effect when the design data is deployed within the programmable devices, after optimization of the logic. This allows the program data for the programmable devices to be created and corrected using the signal names as set forth in the design data.
