VPOM-1510 Virtual Platform
Version 1.1

The VPOM-1510 Virtual Platform is a high performance software simulator of the Texas Instruments Innovator® Kit for OMAP1510 Platform. VPOM-1510 powers dramatic gains in developer productivity by integrating with the software developer's preferred development environment. VPOM-1510 delivers a complete desktop environment for application, middleware, operating system and driver development. The VPOM-1510 integrates with software developer's development tools of choice including Microsoft's Platform Builder and eMbedded Visual Tools, Freescale CodeWarrior™, ARM® RealView® and more.

With this fast full-function software emulation, software developers can start developing and integrating their software today with the following capabilities:

• Runs actual TI Innovator Kit for the OMAP1510 Platform targeted binaries
• Includes real-world connections such as serial, network and video streaming
• Allows camera application development and test through a USB camera connected to the host computer and from a video file
• Interfaces to RDI compatible debuggers (including Freescale CodeWarrior for ARM and ARM RealView)
• Provides high level of system visibility and control, though breakpointing and single-stepping inside peripheral hardware models
• Provides high level of system visibility by viewing of system registers and variables inside peripheral hardware models
• Provides low-level execution control and visibility into the CPU and the peripheral components
• Features photo realistic Innovator device skin with emulated touch screen

Synopsys offers two product packages for VPOM-1510: a standard Virtual Platform (VP) and a Platform Development Kit (PDK). With the VP a developer can preset hardware configurations like switch settings and COM port settings to develop and test new software configurations to boot operating systems, run applications or develop low-level drivers. The PDK offers the same functionality as the VP, with the added ability to customize platform hardware; add and change components from the library of components provided or easily create new functions by using the authoring tools included with the PDK license.

VPOM-1510 has advantages over the hardware development board in installation, configuration and use, unsurpassed observability and controllability and easy electronic distribution. This fast software model combined with the developer's preferred development environment delivers a complete solution for software developers to maximize productivity. This gives each developer an environment to concurrently develop and integrate their software with the target hardware, testing the actual binaries that will be used on the real hardware when it becomes available.
