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.

OVP was selected because of the ease with which models are built and the flexibility in interfacing to other tools. The availability of the ARM processor model we needed, and the open source nature of the OVP models, were also important factors.
