December 16, 2014
Several updates are available:
  • We've released a new simulator for AVR32 together with a cross tool-chain and some Mibench benchmarks…more
  • PowerPC simulators: we've fixed some rare bugs. Please update…more
  • We've improved our support of DWARF v3 and v4. We've fixed some bugs too.
  • We've updated all cross tool-chain and benchmarks
October 24, 2013
We've updated the UNISIM TMS320C3X and PowerPC simulators:
  • We've added support of SystemC TLM 2.x to the TMS320C3X Simulator…more.
    Additionally, we've fixed our implementation of the GDB serial remote protocol (GDB server protocol) to make the simulator work with a cross-GDB for C3x/C4x…more
  • We've also improved simulation speed of the PowerPC simulators mainly because of a faster exception/interrupt handling, inlining of critical C++ methods, and support of SystemC TLM 2.x DMI (Direct Memory Interface)…more
June 26, 2013
A user level ARMv5te simulator is now available for download as well as some benchmarks. This simulator supports ELF32 binaries and Linux system call translation.

Several updates are also available:
  • Support of symbolic debugging using the DWARF v2/v3/v4 debugging information format of ELF binary files. The built-in debugger uses this debugging information for inspecting/modifying program variables, printing the backtrace, finishing the current function, as well as executing source code statements step by step.
  • The benchmarks and simulators have been updated as well.

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,…

Virtual Platforms

Highlights

Acknowledgments

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

Exhibition

HiPEAC
We presented 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.
