Abstract:
1. A computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to simulate a memory interface to which a target system can be connected, by a software module implementing a virtual memory interface device, said virtual memory interface device generating a target system register map within a memory of the computing device, said target system register map being addressable by the computing device if no target system is connected to said memory interface; wherein the computer readable medium stores further instructions that, when executed by the computing device, activate or deactivate said virtual memory interface device, wherein memory access requests generated by the computing device are directed to said memory interface if said instructions to deactivate said virtual memory interface device are executed, and wherein said memory access requests are redirected to said target system register map if said instructions to activate said virtual memory interface device are executed.
