The Imperas University Program encourages participation in the embedded systems community in three ways: use on research projects, use in the classroom, and sharing of virtual platform models through the Open Virtual Platforms (OVP) Library.

OVPsim beats QEMU in fidelity in CPU simulation - its determinism and speed were pretty impressive. OVPsim configurability is a big advantage as well. We were able to configure low-level CPU features, thanks to comprehensive documentation. I was also enthusiastic about the machine description file. It was easy to connect a missing interrupt signal we needed.
