Host platforms supported by OVP.

OVP by definition is not restricted to any specific host platform.
However the pre-compiled demos, binaries, executables, and OVPsim downloadable from this website are currently only compiled and available for X86 Windows XP Professional SP2 and for X86 Linux Fedora Core 4.

Using the self extracting installers (Windows.exe and Linux.sfx)

On both platforms there are self extracting installers that require acceptance of a click-thru license before extraction. On Windows the installer (.exe) asks you for a target directory. On Linux the installer (.sfx) extracts to your current directory.

Downloads for Open Virtual Platforms.

There are many many items available for download.

You can download MIPS-Verified(tm) models of a variety of MIPS Technologies processors - these are included as binaries in this download section or as open source in the Library section of this website. There are models of ARM, ARC, NEC, and openCores processors and also wrappers to incorporate Tensilica processors within OVP simulations.

There are also various usable platforms and demonstrations available for download - these are real examples, that we have pre-compiled.

Recently each CPU model has been given a SystemC TLM2.0 wrapper so now all OVP CPUs can be used within SystemC TLM2.0 platforms.

Please do have a look at the processor specific presentations, view the videos, get a feel for what OVP can offer - download the example platforms (demos) and see how easy it is to build platforms, behavioral components, and processor models with OVP.

Please select on the right from the general downloads you need. On any of these download pages, if the item is not shown as a link - then it is not currently available.
