Summary:
Virtual ARM Simulation Platform enables to observe the execution result of embedded software as if they are downloaded and executed on a real hardware ARM Platform. Developers can write program codes, build executable files, and verify their programs by using Virtual ARM Simulation Platform in the development host (PC). Since it doesn't need any hardware but PC, there is no downloading stage in developing procedure (See Figure 1). Major benefits that can be achieved by utilizing a Virtual ARM Simulation Platform are (1) reducing development cost, (2) lowering the entrance barrier for embedded system novices, and (3) making it easier to test and debug embedded software designs.
