Simulating AMD’s next-gen Versal Adaptive SoC devices using Questasim

Versal Adaptive SoC, a revolutionary adaptable platform developed by AMD, integrates several key components such as the AI Engine (AIE), Processing System (PS), Programmable Logic (PL), Network on Chip (NoC), and a diverse array of specialized IPs. This innovative platform facilitates the efficient execution of intricate algorithms spanning from machine learning to high-performance computing tasks. In our upcoming webinar, we aim to provide an in-depth guide on running simulation flows for a Versal Adaptive SoC. Additionally, we’ll delve into QEMU, the open-source system emulator, and its co-simulation interface with Questa. Demonstrating how to conduct a system simulation of a Versal example design will be a focal point, showcasing Questa’s support for system simulation of Versal designs based on the Vitis™ hardware emulation flow. This comprehensive setup, including hardware emulation and system integration, is seamlessly achieved within the Vitis environment. It incorporates the AIE simulator for graph applications, Questasim for PL kernels, and QEMU for PS host applications.
