Virtuoso makes it possible to streamline your requirements gathering, customer acceptance verification and validation, quality control, sustaining engineering and procurement with an application-specific digital twin of your custom device.
WHAT IS VIRTUOSO?
Virtuoso is an embedded systems design workflow and content platform that allows custom embedded application hardware to be effortlessly virtualized. With an application layer that easily cross-compiles between the virtual device and the target compiler, the firmware application can be developed and tested independent of hardware. The firmware application is hosted or “wrapped” in a C# application, allowing the host to completely emulate the target hardware and interface to real-world application-specific system components. When the application layer is fully implemented and tested on the virtual device, the hardware abstraction layer is simply ported and cross-compiled to the final embedded hardware, and the firmware design is ready to go.

device are automatically updated in all cross-compiled devices.

SHOULD I USE IT?
Whether you are a student, a professional commercial application developer, or a researcher, if you are developing a firmware application written in C/C++, you can’t afford not to use it.

problems and solutions can be virtualized and shared with no hardware to buy. Implementations can then be tested
both in the virtual device and the real world, providing an extremely efficient educational platform.

ONE WORKFLOW
ANY TARGET
As an embedded device virtualization workflow, Virtuoso by nature works with any target platform. Once your application is developed and tested in a virtual device with a hardware abstraction layer, your application can be targeted or re-targeted to any platform with sufficient hardware capabilities. Write your application. Discover your resource requirements. Then pick a processor.
ANY HOST
We are working towards our goal of universal host platform support, so that whether your virtual device application needs to be deployed on a desktop, tablet, phone, or web page, we’ve got you covered.
THE STATE OF THE ART
Simply put, Virtuoso is designed to be the most advanced embedded design workflow in existence. Combine the power of Virtuoso, Montage, Unreal Engine, C#/.NET and the Windows Presentation Foundation into your next embedded firmware project. Then imagine your professional life without it.
Join The Community
With the unparalleled portability of embedded example projects, the Virtuoso community offers rich examples demonstrating software libraries and hardware chipsets that can be easily evaluated. The obstacles to learning and expanding your team’s skillsets are significantly lower with channel partners that showcase libraries and embedded peripheral chipsets using Virtuoso.
