FireSim
-----------------------
FireSim is an open-source cycle-accurate FPGA-accelerated full-system hardware simulation platform that runs on cloud FPGAs (Amazon EC2 F1).
FireSim allows RTL-level simulation at orders-of-magnitude faster speeds than software RTL simulators. FireSim also provides additional device models to allow full-system simulation, including memory models and network models.
FireSim currently supports running only on Amazon EC2 F1 FPGA-enabled virtual instances on the public cloud. In order to simulate your ReBAR design using FireSim, you should follow the following steps:
