Question

Direction: It consists of two statements, one labelled as ‘Statement (I)’ and the others as ‘Statement (II)’. You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the answer using the codes given below:

Statement (I): An emulator is not a mixture of hardware and software and it cannot be used to test and debug the hardware and software of an external system.

Statement (II): Part of the hardware of an emulator is a multiwire cable which connects the host system to the system being developed.

1. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true and Statement (II) is the correct explanation of Statement (I)
2. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true but Statement (II) is not the correct explanation of Statement (I)
3. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false
4. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true

• An emulator is a software that mimics the hardware and software of the target device on your computer.
• They do this by translating the ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) of the target device to the one used by the computer you are using to conduct testing using binary translation. (Statement 1 is False)
• An emulator typically enables the host system to run software or use peripheral devices designed for the guest system.
• A hardware emulator is an emulator that takes the form of a hardware device.

Note:

• A simulator is a software that helps your computer run certain programs built for a different Operating System.
• They are mostly meant for iPhone and iPad devices, unlike Android devices that can be emulated easily.
