VDEES Official Website

Welcome to the official website of Virtual Development Environment for Embedded System (VDEES). VDEES is an Eclipse plugin that act as a graphical interface front end for SID which is capable of simulating various kind of computer system especially of embedded systems. The simulation of the target environment or virtual platform enables embedded software developers to analyze and test their software. SID is a framework for building computer system simulations developed by Redhat, and SID is made for debugging, testing and verifying embedded software. However, it is difficult for embedded software developers to use SID for their work. In VPDE, we developed an integrated virtual platform environment based SID simulation framework for a simulator engine and Eclipse for development platform. Our system is developed as Eclipse plug-ins. The proposed system avoids users to manually write the configuration file, and aids loading and connecting components on the fly. We also developed an image file builder and an automation tool for running SID simulation with GDB debugger. Furthermore, users can also monitor/probe the status of all the active components in the target virtual platform during the simulation.
