3.5. Modeling Support Limitations

The following diagram shows a graphical representation of the modeling support of each of the components that integrate the Agilex™ 5 Universal Virtual Platform Intel® Simics® model.

Figure 10.  Agilex™ 5 Universal Virtual Platform Intel® Simics® Model Limitation Block DiagramThe colors in the diagram (see legend) signify the components based on the level of modeling support:
  • Minimal feature: Supports very limited functionality that allow you to exercise very basic functionality.
  • Supported: Main features of the component being modeled.
  • Not supported: The model does not support any real functional feature related to the component.

For specific limitations in each component, refer to sections corresponding to each component in this chapter (Agilex 5 Universal Virtual Platform Component Intel Simics Models).
