Abstract
Certain aspects direct to systems and methods for platform simulation on virtual machine for development projects of a management controller on virtual machines. At least one virtual machine (VM) is provided to simulate a management controller and a host computing device for the management controller. The at least one VM includes: a firmware module for the management controller, configured to receive at least one output signal from the host computing device or from at least one device connected to the host computing device; and a simulator module configured to simulate the host computing device or the at least one device connected to the host computing device. In operation, the simulator module generates the at least one output signal based on configuration data of the host computing device or the device connected to the host computing device, and sends the at least one output signal to the firmware module.
