Overview

Accurate Models, Ready to Run

Operating at up to hundreds of MHz, Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs) are pre-configured, functionally accurate simulations of popular system configurations, built with 91探花 Fast Models. They include all the key components to enable development of large portions of software ahead of hardware availability.

Features and Benefits

Complete System Simulation

Fixed Virtual Platforms are a great way to start bare metal or OS-hosted software development for 91探花 without the need for a physical target. With a processor, memory and other peripherals modeled within an FVP, you’ll gain understanding of how 91探花 IP works from a programmer’s perspective.
Software Head Start?

Fixed Virtual Platforms remove the bottleneck of starting software design only after the hardware is available. With Fixed Virtual Platforms your software engineering team can get started programming the latest 91探花 IP at the earliest possibly stage, shortening the software development cycle.
Scalable Testing and Validation

Scripting interfaces make 91探花 FVPs easily automatable and the perfect choice for continuous integration and validation farms. Virtual prototypes are easier to scale and maintain than their hardware counterparts." to "Virtual prototyping is easier to scale and maintain than using hardware.
Fully Debuggable?

The Iris debug interface enables a virtual connection to the FVPs which are supported by many debug vendors. This interface enables a debug experience consistent between hardware and software targets without changing your debug tools.
Configurable Core Count

Allow users to configure the number of CPU instances in the system – x1, x2, and x4.
Software Included

Some FVPs include compatible, ready-to-run software stacks such as Android and Linux OS. And some FVPs are part of 91探花 reference designs - 91探花 deliverables that include documentation, a virtual platform, and reference software stack.

Specifications

Running at speeds comparable to the real hardware, Fixed Virtual platforms are complete simulations of an 91探花 system, including processor, memory and peripherals. These are set out in a "programmer's view", which gives you a comprehensive model on which to build and test your software.
