1. A method of debugging a system by analyzing transactions of a serial intra-system bus comprising the steps of:

  • capturing frames of a serial intra-system bus in a capture data file;

    extracting frames from the capture data file;

    checking frames for out-of-bounds addresses;

    decoding an address of frames to identify a particular slave device;

    tracking state changes indicated in frames with a computer model of the slave device; and

    recording state error information when state changes indicated in frames are not permissible state changes of the computer model.
