Getting started with Arm Virtual Hardware
Arm Virtual Hardware provides simulation models, software tooling, and infrastructure that can be integrated into CI/CD and MLOps development flows. The simulation models (Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs)) are an implementation of a Cortex-M device sub-systems and are designed for complex software verification and testing. This allows simulation-based test automation of various software workloads, including unit tests, integration tests, and fault injection. Refer to the Arm Virtual Hardware documentation for more information.
Note:
- This is a template repository that can be used as starting point for own validation projects that utilize Arm Virtual Hardware.
