Abstract
More and more embedded system developers and system-on-chip designers reply on microprocessor-based design methodology to reduce time-to market. ARM processor has been a major player in embedded system industry over the last 10 years. However, there are many restrictions on developing embedded software using ARM processor in the early design stage. For those who are not familiar with embedded software equipment, testing their software on a real ARM hardware platform is a challenging job. To overcome such a problem, we have designed Virtual ARM Platform, which offers easier testing and debugging environment to ARM based embedded system developers. Major benefits that can be achieved by utilizing a Virtual ARM 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. Unlike many other purely software-oriented ARM simulators which are independent of real hardware platforms, our proposed Virtual ARM Platform is specifically targeted
on SYS-Lab 5000 ARM hardware platform, (designed by Libertron, Inc.,) which means that Virtual ARM Platform imitates behaviors of embedded software as if the software is running on the target embedded hardware as closely as possible. This paper shows how Virtual ARM Platform is designed and how it can be used to reduce design time and cost.
[摘要]
越来越多的嵌入式系统开发人员和片上系统设计师采用microprocessor-based(基于微处理器的)设计方法，以减少推向市场的时间。在过去的10年里，ARM处理器一直都是嵌入式系统行业的主角之一。然而，在早期设计阶段，有许多对基于ARM处理器的嵌入式软件开发的限制。对于那些不熟悉嵌入式软件设备的人来说，在ARM硬件平台上测试他们的软件是一项异常艰巨的工作。为克服这些问题，我们为基于ARM的嵌入式系统开发人员设计了虚拟的ARM平台，提供更容易测试和调试的环境。使用虚拟ARM平台的好处是：(1)减少开发成本，(2)对于初学者降低了入门的难度，以及(3)让您更轻松地测试和调试嵌入式软件。与许多其他的纯粹以软件为导向且独立于硬件平台的ARM模拟器不同，我们的虚拟ARM平台是专门针对SYS-Lab 5000 ARM硬件平台(由Libertron公司负责设计制造)研发的，这意味着我们的平台可以尽可能地模仿在目标硬件上的嵌入式软件的各种行为。本文旨在介绍我们的虚拟ARM平台的设计思想以及它在减少设计时间和开销方面的一些应用。
