The Arria® 10 SoC Virtual Platform is based on Mentor Embedded technology and provides early software development and verification for Altera® customers.

By allowing teams to work within a virtual platform framework, software developers can gain system visibility without the high costs associated with buying multiple development boards. The virtual platform can be used to rapidly develop software in advance of actual silicon or board availability. In addition, the virtual platform allows you to port an OS from your previous architecture to the Arria® 10 SoC. This development allows for early hardware driver development and partial validation in addition to creation of non-real time algorithm and application development. For Linux debug support, the GNU debugger (gdb) can be used with the Arria® 10 SoC Virtual Platform.
