VPMX Virtual Platform
Version 1.0

VPMX Virtual Platform emulates the Freescale i.MX1/i.MXL development system. With this high-performance, full-function software emulation, software developers can concurrently develop and integrate software before hardware is available. VPMX saves time and project costs by providing better control and visibility into both hardware and software, which ultimately shortens development time. Dramatic gains in developer productivity are obtained by integrating the software developer's preferred development environment seamlessly with VPMX, delivering a complete desktop development environment for application, middleware, operating system and driver development.

With this fast full-function software emulation, software developers can start developing and integrating their software today with the following capabilities:

• Runs actual Freescale i.MX1/i.MXL targeted binaries
• Interfaces to RDI compatible debuggers (including Freescale CodeWarrior™ for ARM, ARM RealView™ and Palm OS® Debugger)
• Integrates with software development tools of choice; including Microsoft's Platform Builder and eMbedded Visual Tools, Freescale CodeWarrior, ADS and more
• Provides high level of system visibility and control, through breakpointing and single-stepping inside peripheral hardware models
• Includes real-world connections such as serial and network connections.
• Provides high level of system visibility by allowing system registers and variables inside peripheral hardware models to be viewed
• Provides low-level execution control and visibility into the CPU and the peripheral components
• Customize the VPMX Virtual Platform with custom peripherals and skins using the Virtio PDK, allowing you to create a virtual platform for any Freescale i.MX1/i.MXL device
