VDK for ARC HS38 Processor
VDK for ARC
The VDK for DesignWare® ARC® HS Processors is a software development kit that uses a virtual prototype of an ARC HS38 processor-based system. It includes a reference virtual prototype with a single-, dual- or quad-core ARC HS38 and system peripherals, a pre-built Linux image, integration support for ARC MetaWare and GDB Debuggers, and includes sample Linux applications. The VDK is included as part of the ARC nSIM Pro Instruction Set Simulator.
Software Development Features and Integration
- Software development tools for system-level debug and analysis software development tools provide higher visibility and controllability on execution
- Scripting interface enables test scenario execution, error injection and customizable developer interface
- Synchronized debugger integration support, including MetaWare Debugger, GDB and Lauterbach TRACE32 Debugger
Fast Reference Virtual Prototypes
- Reference ARC HS38 processor-based virtual prototype featuring up to dual-core ARC HS38x2
