True multi core simulation & debugging

Systems without a microprocessor are rare for many years, the trend is designs containing multiple processors for all kinds of functionality. There is a need for tools to support multi processor system development; to improve system design and accelerate the verification. The questions which are often asked are:
- Can I combine multiple processors in a single environment to simulate large applications?
- Can I combine lets say, an ARM with 4 smaller controllers with different clocks?
- Can I build a complete virtual system, including CPU's and peripherals?
- Can I combine real application code with a real HDL design?
- I like to change the system configuration by myself, is that possible?

All these questions are answered positively regarding the Univers tool. Univers is a true multi core system development and verification tool, which is very competitively priced.

You can combine CPU models (ISSs) with C++ peripheral models and also with HDL designs (VHDL/Verilog). Each module has it's own clocks, controlled by Univers. Each ISS has it's own application window, disassembly window, register window, etc. You can include multiple independent HDL modules (top-levels) in the simulated system.
