How are people using power of Virtual Platforms:
- Power On readiness
- Post-Si validation readiness
- Driver development
- Embedded OS, OS/ BIOS Development
Virtual Platforms offers capabilities to Analyze, debug (visibility), controllability over a Simulator SW Developers used in the past. Such capability is available to SW developers much before Si is available.
Virtual Platforms are not closed simulation models, but allow access to underlying physical HW such as configuring, allow visibility for debug etc. VP allows interfaces to “real world” e.g. a VP can access Internet via an Ethernet connection between VP & network in physical world; VP can talk to PCMCIA cards in PCMCIA slots of PC.Remote debugging is also possible on virtual platforms
