| Emulation, or specifically hardware emulation attempts to imitate the behavior of a device or platform to verify and validate firmware and/or software. 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). | Emulation, or specifically hardware emulation attempts to imitate the behavior of a device or platform to verify and validate firmware and/or software.

| + | ===== 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. | ||
