<h2>What is Simics®?<a class="headerlink" href="#what-is-simics" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The Simics simulator is the functional virtual platform technology used in
<a class="reference external" href="https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/integrated-simulation-infrastructure.html">Intel® Integrated Simulation Infrastructure with Modeling (Intel® ISIM)</a>.
The Simics simulator has been designed to let virtual platforms run target binaries in a fast, deterministic, and controllable way.
This provides an ideal environment for early software development and debugging, analysis, tracing, and instrumentation of software running on the platform.</p>
<p>Here is an interesting article for further reading about Simics:

<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>In this guide, we will focus on how to boot up on Simics Quick-Start Platform (QSP). <br />
The QSP is a simple model of a standard PC, and is part of the Simics base product.</p>

<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Before trying on SBL, you are <strong>strongly recommended</strong> to at least go through the Tutorial section in Simics Simulator to get yourself familiarized with it.</p>
<p>Please refer to Get Started section <a class="reference external" href="https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/simics-simulator-installation-and-get-started.html">here</a></p>

<p>QSP SBL shares the same image as QEMU SBL, SBL will auto detect the platform at runtime via Host Bridge Device ID.</p>
