About this course

This Tech Talk introduces the device model developer to the built-in testing framework available in Wind River® Simics®. You'll see some typical testing scenarios and explore the various testing libraries available.

The Tech Talk continues by introducing you to a test-driven development approach for creating Wind River® Simics® device models. You can follow along as the beginning of a working model of an i8254 timer device is developed from the ground up. The emphasis is on creating tests based on the specification, which then drives the creation of the device model. You are expected to become familiar with the i8254 device and its specification (available freely online).

Based on: Simics 4.8
Applicable for: Simics 4, 5
