is there any way to make virtual IC ( integrated circuit ) through programming only?

Question

Most of you know that , in many electronic devices IC play the huge role. Because the IC will help to interact among hardware and software with electric signels. But if your ICs will damage , you will have to replace it or in some cases you have to replace the entire circuit board .
First option will be cheap and easy for everyone but second option ( replacing entire circuit board ) will not be better option for everyone! And I have to choose second one because there isn't any way to change my phone's motherboard IC and because of this phone I can't use SIM cards in my phone.
Someone suggest me to use eSIM(s) but in my region it wouldn't be comfortable , and that guy had suggest me also , for asking this question in programmers community that's why I have asked it here.
You can also suggest me resources to learn about it .
I'll be thankfull for all everyone who will come here to know and help ( if can 🙂 ) about this problem.

Answer 1

John Wells it's possible to replace them with software

Answer 2

It depends on what IC is broken as to whether software can replace it. You can't do a software replacement for a broken WiFi IC. No amount of software can make broken hardware start working and transmitting the signal requires hardware support.

Answer 3

Bebida Roja can you suggest more clearly , I didn't get it

Answer 4

Sure. There are lots of electronic emulators out there. 123d circuits, from autodesk, is an online one, but with no so much ICs built in.
