Abstract

For designing and testing embedded software, simulation tools have been used to keep pace with the rapid development of customized hardware parts. SID is a framework for building computer system simulations and SID is made for debugging, testing and verifying embedded software. Though, it is difficult for developers to use SID for their work. In this work, we developed an integrated virtual platform environment based SID simulation framework for a simulator engine and Eclipse for development platform. The proposed system avoids users to manually write the configuration file, and aids loading and connecting components on the fly. We also developed an image file builder and an automation tool for running SID simulation with GDB debugger. Furthermore, users can also monitor/probe the status of all the active components in the target virtual platform during the simulation.
