How Virtual Prototyping Benefits the Development of Embedded Systems

Embedded systems combine highly complex integrated electronics with similarly complex software in order to control the world around us. Much of our daily life relies on the faultless operation of those systems. The increasing demand for functionality, performance, and energy efficiency is a huge challenge for HW/SW codesign. Virtual prototypes and efficient system-level models can help to solve some of the challenges in design and verification of embedded electronics.
