About the Prototype:
The Virtual Prototype is a soft "emulator" of the Versatile™ Express Virtual Prototype for ARM Cortex™-A15 MPCore™ provided for educational purposes only. It includes a virtualized Ethernet Controller, UARTs, keyboard and mouse interfaces, and a frame-buffer console that allows the user to interact with the platform, just like you would with a real hardware board. Besides all the tools required to operate the virtual prototype, the packages come with a complete Linux software stack, including kernel and file-system. A comprehensive user’s guide introduces the usage of virtual prototypes for embedded software development.

The user will learn to debug and analyze embedded software along with the underlying hardware platform. The self-study tutorial style user’s guide introduces new debugging techniques, enabled by the unique control and visibility provided by virtual prototypes. Even a Linux beginner will gain a lot of insight into the operation of a complex operating system such as Linux. Furthermore, the user will learn how to create custom debug and analysis solutions based on a flexible scripting framework.

The virtual prototype also enables you to run Android, interface with GPS and evaluate power consumption! We invite you to explore all aspects of a virtual prototype and experiment with the software stack.
