18. A system comprising: an emulator, wherein the emulator comprises a model of a system on chip (SoC); a debugger coupled to the emulator; a host computer coupled to the debugger; and a simulation computer coupled to the emulator; wherein the simulation computer is configured to: take a snapshot of a plurality of flip-flops inside the model of the SoC; and store the snapshot as a golden reference; wherein the host computer is configured to: initiate a scan dump operation; capture an output bitstream from the scan dump operation, wherein the output bitstream comprises values from the plurality of flip-flops inside the model of the SoC; and compare the output bitstream to the golden reference.
