I’m trying to evaluate Simics to see if this simulation platform is useful for me to integrate Simics with my software development environment.
I’m trying to use set up Simics as instruction set simulator for one of the Intel processors we are using. Pardon my silly questions:
- How can I connect my software development platform to the emulator?
- Do I need to create a binary (elf, .bin etc) and load it on the emulator? What is the process?
- Limitations of using the Simics emulator?
Downloaded Simics from Intel download page and executed example simulation. I feel like its way too advanced for the software development environment setup i’m envisioning.
Are there any light weighted hardware simulation environments, to use it as software development platform until the actual hardware become available?
