Intel® architecture bring-up
Contributed by Alexey Veselyi and Denis Vladimirov
Chapter 10 describes how Intel® has used Simics for improving the system development workflow. At Intel®, one of the major use cases of Simics is to help software and hardware bring-up, starting from the early pre-silicon stages. With the help of Simics, a functional model of future Intel® hardware can be made available to BIOS and driver developers a year or more ahead of engineering samples. This approach allows development of low-level software, which is very hardware-dependent, in parallel with the development of the hardware. In addition, close collaboration with hardware developers allows the team of Simics engineers to perform a certain amount of ...
