1.3. Intel® Simics® Simulator for Intel® FPGAs Support

The Intel® Simics® Simulator for Intel® FPGAs is a full-system simulator supporting the software development process. It provides capabilities that include hardware and software inspection, dynamic system configuration, hardware modeling tools, scripting, and other features.
Ashling* RiscFree* IDE for Intel® FPGAs provides a software with a graphical interface to the Intel® Simics® simulator for Intel® FPGAs software that allows you to:
  • Control the simulation progress with a mouse and buttons in a GUI instead of entering commands on a CLI (which is also supported).
  • Debug target software using the Ashling* RiscFree* IDE for Intel® FPGAs debugger to view progress through your source code, set breakpoints, examine variable values and register contents, and view stack traces.
  • Integrate Ashling* RiscFree* IDE for Intel® FPGAs and Intel® Simics® simulator as a complete development environment for your target software. You can write your target program, test it, run simulations, and debug it all in one location on your target hardware.
