Abstract

Systems and methods consistent with this disclosure provide for high fidelity emulation of special-purpose hardware devices systems by virtual hardware. The systems and methods can emulate a physical hardware system in a virtual machine by performing operations including constructing the virtual machine from the physical hardware system. The operations can also include emulating hardware components of the physical hardware system in the virtual machine. The operations can further include emulating operation the physical hardware system using the virtual machine based on a memory map that reproduces memory locations used by the physical hardware system to exchange information. Additionally, the operations can include performing testing of the physical hardware system via operation of the virtual machine.
