Heterogeneous Simulation is end-to-end simulation flow that lets engineers stay in their preferred development environment while functionally validating AI Engine + PL systems before hardware implementation. This can support verification of complex AMD Versal™ adaptive SoC designs faster and with greater confidence.
AMD Heterogeneous Simulation for Versal™ SoCsPlaybooks are published as open guides on GitHub and cover end-to-end workflows, including: Environment setup and prerequisites Dependency and driver installation Running models locally on AMD hardware Building or extending a practical application
