Software Development in a Hardware Simulation Environment

Concurrent verification of hardware and software as part of the development process can shorten the time to market of complex systems. The objectives of the Virtual CPU approach is to provide a solution for code development in a simulation environment before the system prototype is ready. The VCPU is an ideal solution for processor-based systems that include multiple new ASICs and boards, in which the hardware, diagnostics and software drivers must be developed concurrently.
