Wind River Simics Use Full System Simulation to Transform Your Product Life Cycle
Wind River® Simics is a full system simulator used by software developers to simulate the functional behavior of target hardware systems. Referred to as a virtual platform, it can run the same unmodified target software as the physical hardware, including the same basic input-output system (BIOS), boot loader, operating system, middleware, and application.
With Simics, any size or complexity of electronic system can be simulated: from a single processor to multi-core, multiprocessor, multi-board, multi-rack, and networked systems.
Wind River offers many models of Intel devices, including the next-generation communications platform from Intel®, Crystal Forest. Models of other next-generation Intel architecture devices will be available in the near future.
Why Use Wind River Simics?
Simics enables engineering, integration, and test teams to adopt approaches and techniques that are simply not possible on physical hardware. For example, developers can freeze, save, email, and restore the whole system; they can view and modify every device, register, or memory location; and they can run the whole system in reverse to find the source of a bug.
Use Simics During All Phases of Your Product Life Cycle
Wind River Simics provides full product life cycle support. Use Simics for all phases of product development, from system architecture exploration to system design, board bring-up, application development, integration, testing, and post-development customer support, to the next generation of the product:
Extensive Simics Model Library for Intel Architecture Devices
Organizations using Simics across the full product life cycle are able to see significant reductions in risks, time-to-market, and costs. It also improves quality of the overall product and efficiencies of the various engineering teams.
Request Your Evaluation
Wind River is happy to announce that it is accepting requests for free evaluations of Simics for the Intel next-generation communications platform, Crystal Forest. With this evaluation, you will be able to run real target software applications on a simulation of the Crystal Forest virtual platform and try it out in a variety of different network configurations.
