By accurately modelling the i.MX 6, so that compiled code can be brought up on a Virtual Platform, great time savings can be made in a typical project design workflow, and a greater understanding of the available design space achieved. This paper looks at a multi-core Linux design, with a hosted application used to track the seabed depth, implemented on an X86 host. The design is simulated in near real-time, and detailed debug data is available both on the i.MX 6 and hosted software native-code application.
