Virtio Products

Virtio Products

Virtio enables early software development and early hardware/software integration of embedded systems through Virtio's powerful virtual prototyping technology.

Virtual prototyping allows embedded developers to use a high-performance software model of a complete system, called virtual platforms, without the need for physical hardware. Virtio offers a full range of virtual platforms to meet your needs.

Product Architectures

Virtio products span a wide array of hardware architectures. The following table lists the architectures that are currently supported by Virtio

Vendor	Architecture	Platform	Description
ARM		VPAI Virtual Platform	VPAI Virtual Platform emulates the ARM® Integrator/AP™ development board.
Freescale	MXC	VPMX Virtual Platform	Virtio and Freescale created the VPMX Virtual Platform that emulates the i.MX1/i.MXL application development system. With this high-performance, full-function software emulation, software developers can concurrently develop and integrate software before hardware is available.
		VPMX31 Virtual Platform	Models the Freescale i.MX31 multimedia applications processor
Intel	XScale	VPXS Virtual Platform	The VPXS Virtual Platform is based on The Intel® XScale® microarchitecture for the DBPXA250 developlment board.
		VPXS-WM Virtual Platform	The VPXS-WM Virtual Platform models the Intel® Wireless MMX™ technology.
LSI Logic	ARM	VPCS926 Virtual Platform	VPCS926 models the LSI Logic ARM926EJ-S Processor System from the System CoreWare™ library
MIPS Technologies		VPMM Virtual Platform	Virtio and MIPS created the VPMM Virtual Platform modeling the MIPS® MALTA™ development board for the MIPS32™ 4Kc™ and MIPS64™ 5Kc™ family of microprocessor cores.
		VPMM-SC Virtual Platform	Virtio and MIPS created the VPMM-SC Virtual Platform modeling the MIPS® MALTA™ development board with the SOC-it™ system controller. It supports MIPS32® 4Kc™ & MIPS64® 5Kc™ (by means of a Virtio /MIPS instruction-set simulator), and MIPS32® 4KE™, 24K™ and 34K™ (through use of the MIPSsim instruction-set simulator provided by MIPS Technologies).
Texas Instruments	OMAP	VPDA295 Virtual Platform	The VPDA295 Virtual Platform is a high performance software emulator of Texas Instruments DA295™ reference design. This TI reference design includes the TMS320DA295 digital audio processor which is targeted for use in portable audio applications.
		VPOM-1510 Virtual Platform	VPOM-1510 models the TI Innovator® kit for the OMAP1510 Platform.
		VPOM-1610 Virtual Platform	VPOM-1610 models the TI Innovator® Kit for the OMAP1610 Development Platform.
		VPOM-2420 Virtual Platform	The VPOM-2420 Virtual Platform is a high-performance software emulator of the TI OMAP2420 Software Development Platform.
		VPOM-2430 Virtual Platform	Virtio and Texas Instruments have created the VPOM-2430 Virtual Platform for advanced mobile phone video and imaging. This virtual platform is a high performance software simulator of the OMAP2430 Software Development Platform (SDP2430).
		VPOM-3430 Virtual Platform	Virtio and Texas Instruments have created the VPOM-3430 Virtual Platform for advanced mobile phone video and imaging development. This virtual platform is a high performance software simulator of the OMAP3430 Software Development Platform (SDP3430).
		VPOM-V1030 Virtual Platform	Virtio and Texas Instruments have created the VPOM-V1030 Virtual Platform for use by phone manufacturers and software developers. This virtual platform is a high performance software emulator of the Texas Instruments OMAPV1030 GSM/GPRS/EDGE chipset.

Product Levels

Virtio offers its products at various functionality levels to suit your needs

Virtual Platforms

Virtio Virtual Platforms are software models of hardware. Each delivers a complete environment for the software development team. This fast software model has advantages over the hardware development board in configuration and installation, with 100% visibility into the system, unsurpassed observability and controllability and easy electronic distribution.

Platform Development Kits

A Platform Development Kit (PDK) allows the developer to customize a Virtio Virtual Platform. The PDK includes a virtual platform, a library of components that can be used to easily modify or extend the platform and authoring tools to create peripheral stubs and even new models. This environment provides the flexibility to let you quickly add and delete peripheral models to meet specific project requirements.

Learning Kits

The Virtio Learning Kit provides an introduction to Platform Development Kits and teaches a novice user the fundamentals of creating peripheral models and building virtual platforms with Virtio's virtual prototyping technology. The kit focuses on all aspects of peripheral model creation and platform assembly to give a developer a jump-start on customizing a Virtio Virtual Platform.
