Embedded virtual prototype kits aid HW-SW debug

The Embedded Virtual Prototype Kits (VPKs) are part of Vista and Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition products. The kits enable embedded developers to integrate, execute, validate, and optimize software on various platforms. Virtual prototyping allows developers to explore various configurations and software execution threads – without the need for probes and complex board setup.

The package supports off-the-shelf, configurable virtual prototypes for Altera Arria-V, ARM Versatile Express Cortex A-9, Freescale i.MX 6, and Xilinx Zynq. Its graphical debugging and performance analysis tools enable a system-wide, synchronized perspective across operating systems and application functions. Non-intrusive HW/SW tracing supporting bare-metal and Linux applications on multicore/multisystem configurations. Available now.
