Wind River ®, a world leader in embedded and mobile software, has introduced the latest Wind River Simics which features, allowing you to quickly launch embedded developers to easily and immediately benefit from using full system simulation during development, debugging, and testing the software.
Wind River Simics now includes a quick start platform (QSP), which provides the synthetic virtual platform, combined with the set statement Simulator for specific architectures. QSP also comes with board support packages (payments) for VxWorks ® and Linux, including additional fees are the latest versions of Linux, Wind River, which makes for easy developing platforms for developers, especially the creation of a user-level application software, are not tied to the specificity of the target computer.
«Using simulation provides significant savings in total cost of ownership and time, especially when working on complex systems. Wind River Simics not only allows you to develop applications to start early, but can also help you determine the most appropriate hardware system design and ease of migration, "said Michel Genard, Vice President of tools and lifecycle solutions at Wind River. "With Wind River Simics, developers can get practical experience and take advantage of virtual platforms and simulation methods much earlier."
Even though industry research has shown growth in adoption of virtual prototyping and modeling tools, timely project completion rates remain a problem, especially for complex projects.(1) Wind River Simics provides fast and easy for developers, and in turn, contribute to further encourage the adoption of modeling.
Using Wind River Simics right away, developers can immediately take advantage of features such as reverse execution and checkpointing. In reverse performance of backup and replay program works allows for close and repeated surveys run, produce the same results every time. Frequency and reversibility are valuable in the design and debug of complex software and capabilities not possible with physical machine. The checkpoints provide an accurate snapshot of the State of the whole system. Tester can warn developers mistake of taking crossing and passing it along, so they can resume execution from the point of view of the tester.
As a full system Simulator Wind River Simics can simulate any target hardware system, from processor Board, multi-core systems or the whole system that includes hundreds of boards with different architectures. Unmodified target software binaries can be run on an imitation of Simics as if the actual physical hardware.
