We were able to easily merge the Imperas simulator into our automated workflow on our build server for both unit and integration testing. Running our tests with the production binaries on the simulator enabled us to find bugs that were not found when the software was cross compiled to the x86 Windows environment.

Given the wide variety of customer applications for our SoC FPGAs, our software stacks require rigorous and comprehensive testing. Imperas' M*SDK has proven to be an outstanding environment for the validation and analysis of operating systems, drivers and firmware. Verification using the Imperas solution not only accelerates software bug discovery, but also provides a rapid understanding of the root cause of problems.
