VPOM-1610 Virtual Platform
Version 1.0

Synopsys and Texas Instruments have created the VPOM-1610 Virtual Platform. This virtual platform is a high performance software emulator of the Texas Instruments Innovator® Kit for OMAP1610 Platform. VPOM-1610 powers dramatic gains in developer productivity by integrating with the software developer's preferred development environment, delivering a complete desktop development environment for application, middleware, operating system and driver development. The VPOM-1610 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 OMAP1610-based TI Innovator Kit 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
• 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:
  • Supports breakpointing and single-stepping inside graphical peripheral hardware models
  • Supports viewing of system registers and variables inside peripheral hardware models
• Features photo realistic Innovator device skin with emulated touch screen
• Includes real-world connections such as serial, network and video streaming

With a VPOM-1610 Virtual Platform a developer can create and test new software configurations to boot operating systems, run applications or develop low-level drivers. These can include preset hardware configurations like switch settings and COM port settings required for the software under development.

VPOM-1610 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.

Customization
With the Synopsys Innovator product, developers will have the added ability to customize the platform hardware, by creating new platform component models or extending the platform using pre-build library components. In addition, a developer can add user-defined instrumentation to easily profile software operations and collect execution statistics. In addition, Innovator provides a customizable user interface and graphic skins for early usability evaluation.

DSP Support
For DSP support the VPOM-1610D is available separately from Synopsys. This virtual platform models the TI OMAP1610 DSP (C55XX) and offers all the capabilities of the VPOM-1610 plus it includes the DSP ISS. VPOM-1610D is fully integrated with the Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio™. For pricing and availability of the VPOM-1610D please contact SLSinfo@synopsys.com.
