Virtual Platform Based Software Testing
Agenda
Agenda
Silicon Without Software Is Just Sand
Issues in Embedded Software Development
Focus for Today’s Presentation: Software Quality / Testing
Software Failures in Embedded Systems Are Bad!
Agenda
Current Methodology, Software Debug on Prototype:Run gdbserver on target and Eclipse on host to debug application on target
Using a Virtual Platform Provides Exactly the Same Environment(with many of the same limitations)
Building the Virtual Platform
Instruction Accurate Virtual Platforms Run at 100s of MIPS
Open Virtual Platforms™ Provides the Modelling Infrastructure
Virtual Platform Requirements for Software Test
Virtual Platform Requirements for Software Test:Checklist
Virtual Platforms Simulate the Software Running on the Hardware
Software Analysis on Hardware Has Accuracy Questions(code coverage, profiling, …)
Software Analysis on Virtual Platform is Non-Intrusive(code coverage, profiling, tracing, memory analysis, …)
