- Modular C++ Design with Support for TLM2.0 Interoperability
- Functional simulator only, build for speed
- Accuracy added via TLM2 modeling style abstractions
- Support for co-simulation with SystemC models
- Quantum based simulator(s), threaded and ready for multicore
- Flexible I/O support via TLM and socket based interface
- Flexible integration points
- Rich peripheral library
- CPU library: e500mc, e5500, e6500, e200, StarCore®, Arm®v7 and Arm®v8
NOTE: Arm®-based simulation requires the FAST model license
- Representative use cases would be:
- Software Migration: Create custom or hybrid SoC models to assist software migration
- Software Fault Tolerance: Utilize these simulators to inject errors to test software fault tolerance
- Co-simulation: Utilize these simulators with Verilog or VHDL models of custom logic prior to committing to expensive hardware realization
- Critical path performance analysis: easily add in timing information as necessary to check highly critical timing parameters
- Custom Probe Points: Use custom SoC internal probe points to produce custom trace or custom measurements and metrics
- Advanced Software Development: Software development where hardware platforms are scarce or expensive as well as pre-silicon simulation
