Synopsys Virtual Platforms
Synopsys (formerly Virtio) powers dramatic gains in software development by delivering early access to fast, full-function software simulation of target boards.
Issues Concerning OMAP Developers
- Getting to market is traditionally a serial process:
- Silicon > Board > OS & Middleware > Application Developers
- Cost of development tools
- Time to market barriers delay time to profits:
- Silicon availability
- Board availability
- Verification capability
How Virtual Platforms Benefit OMAP Developers
- Accelerates the process (Time to market paradigm shift):
- Software development starts earlier
- OS, middleware, apps already developed and tested
- Synopsys platforms lowers cost of development
- Simplifies handling of silicon and device modifications
- Result - Your applications are available when phones are released!

Virtual Platform Capabilities
Synopsys has worked with Texas Instruments to create virtual, high performance software simulations of the TI OMAP™ Platforms.
Virtual Platforms (VP) power dramatic gains in developer productivity by integrating with the software developer's preferred development environment, delivering a complete desktop development environment for application, middleware, operating system and driver development. The VP integrates with software developer's development tools of choice including Microsoft's Platform Builder and eMbedded Visual Tools, Lauterbach Trace32®, ARM® RealView™ and more. With this fast full-function software emulation, software developers can start developing and integrating their software today before hardware availability with the following capabilities:
- Runs actual TI OMAP Platform targeted binaries - no cross compiling
- Includes real-world connections such as serial, network and video streaming
- Provides efficient heterogeneous multi-core debug
- Allows camera application development and test through a USB camera connected to the host computer and from a video file
- Interfaces to compatible debuggers (such as TI Code Composer Studio, Lauterbach Trace32® and ARM RealView) - see VP data sheets for specifics
- Provides high level of system visibility and control, though breakpointing and single-stepping inside peripheral hardware models
- Emulates many system peripherals, such as MMC cards, and subsystems such as Imaging Video Accelerator (IVA) and Audio/Power Management ICs - depending on the particular OMAP Platform
- View system registers and variables inside peripheral hardware models
- Provides low-level execution control and visibility into the CPU and the peripheral components
- Features photo realistic Innovator device skin with emulated touch screen
Multi-Core Debug Efficiency
Virtual Platforms enable greater debug visibility and efficiency by providing heterogeneous and homogeneous multi-core debugger support including Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio™. Debugging multi-core SoC with Synopsys is more efficient than JTAG and physical hardware because JTAG scan chains only stop one processor at a time. With Virtual Platforms, the entire set of on-chip cores, including the ARM and DSP cores, stop when either a software or hardware breakpoint is reached. This allows unsurpassed debug visibility into the complete system and greatly increases developer productivity.
Virtual Platform Packages
Synopsys offers two product packages a standard Virtual Platform (VP) and a Platform Development Kit (PDK). With the VP a developer can preset hardware configurations like switch settings and COM port settings to develop and test new software configurations to boot operating systems, run applications or develop low-level drivers. The PDK offers the same functionality as the VP, with the added ability to customize platform hardware; add and change components from the library of components provided or easily create new functions by using the authoring tools included with the PDK license.
