UNISIM Virtual Platforms

What is it?
UNISIM provides several virtual platforms and a framework to ease the development of new virtual platforms. The UNISIM virtual platforms are free and open source software. Presently, they work on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X host machines…more
We can support you in building your own virtual platform, or build it for you, either within an industrial/research project or under a commercial contract…more

News

October 08, 2012
Several updates are available:
  • Our virtual platforms better supports the DWARF v2/v3 debugging information format of ELF binary files. The built-in debugger uses this debugging information for printing the backtrace, finishing the current function, as well as executing source code statements step by step.
  • The UNISIM Virtex 5 FXT simulator now implements a Linux system call translation mechanism so that it is not strictly necessary to boot a Linux distribution in order to run PPC440FP Linux applications.
  • The benchmarks are more cross-platform and include some regression-tests.
  • The tutorials & demos have been updated accordingly.

A tutorial and a demo about debugging software with the UNISIM Virtex 5 FXT Simulator is available…more
November 09, 2011
Cross tool-chains, benchmarks, and tutorials are available for the PowerPC virtual platforms.
October 07, 2011
We are pleased to announce the setting-up of unisim-vp.org. This site aims to share the UNISIM virtual platforms. Some PowerPC virtual platforms are already available for download. Other virtual platforms are coming soon: ARM, 68HCS,…
More to come…stay tuned!

Acknowledgments

Digiteo
We would like to thank Digiteo for supporting us in making the UNISIM virtual platforms available to the community.

Exhibition

HiPEAC
We will present a poster at the poster sessions of the HiPEAC'12 conference, January 23-25, 2012, Paris, France. The HiPEAC conference provides a forum for experts in computer architecture, programming models, compilers, and operating systems for embedded and general-purpose systems. The conference aims at the dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge and the promotion of international contacts among scientists from academia and industry.

On-going evaluation

OPEES
A UNISIM virtual platform of a Xilinx Virtex-5 FXT is being evaluated by project partners in the context of OPEES (Open Platform for the Engineering of Embedded Systems), a European project that aims to ensure long-term availability of critical / embedded systems engineering technologies to secure industry competitiveness and development.
