Summary

This tool provides the following features, usually not supported by standard simulation methods:

• GUI
• concurrent input / output (up to 330Hz)
• interactive experience with emulated HW

Although no "real-time" is supported, with simulation rates of up to 330Hz the stimulus and results are fast enough to produce a realistic HW behavior.

For a project with improved performance, with up to 40kHz simulation rates, please refer to FPGA_HW_SIM_FWK_2
