Embedded System Design Using Virtual System Prototypes Accelerates Product Development

VaST provides tools and models for embedded system design. Users create a software simulation-based model of a system on a chip (SoC) or a portion of a system. This virtual system prototype (VSP) is initially used for quantitative architectural exploration and optimization. When finalized the virtual system prototype becomes the golden reference model that enables concurrent development of hardware and software.

Customers use the VaST CoMET and METeor tools — together with virtual processor, bus and peripheral models — to develop virtual system prototypes (VSPs) as early as the architecture phase of the embedded systems design. The high performance, timing accuracy, observability and controllability of virtual system prototypes make them indispensable for embedded systems design.

Compare VaST Technology to other system prototype applications. VaST has a broad selection of popular VPMs from various IP vendors.
