Software Development
A fast, pre-silicon representation of an IP, subsystem or entire SoC enables SW teams to develop drivers and firmware, integrated with existing operating systems. Commonly used debuggers such as Trace32 or DS5 are connected via a JTAG interface. A variation of this use case is enabled through Hybrid Prototyping in which the processor is running outside HAPS as a model while the rest of the system is mapped into HAPS saving prototyping capacity. Synopsys Virtualizer offers the broadest set of models for this unique use case.
