Hardware emulation is typically a part of the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workflow. ​It is more accurate than simulation and works well for very complicated designs (such as those found in VLSI).

 +For embedded systems, emulators are often used in ICE, or in-circuit emulation.

 +===== Weatherbox Firmware Emulator ===== 
 + 
 +The SCEL Weatherbox firmware comes with a built in emulator that uses [[ https://​github.com/​buserror/​simavr | simavr]] as the core emulation model. Included is also a thin layer over the simavr model which uses the arduino bootloader to allow the emulation model to self program itself.

 +Documentation on how to run the emulator can be found [[https://​github.com/​scel-hawaii/​weatherbox-firmware/​blob/​master/​emu/​README.md | here]].
