Original Kurzfassung:
Today, Virtual Prototypes (VPs) are heavily used to enable early software development and to accelerate the design process.The aim of this work is two fold: (i)enable the early development of interactive graphical applications running on Linux,and (ii)provide an easy-to-use and configurable solution for RISC-V. In this paper, we present GUI-VP Kit. GUI-VP Kit includes GUI-VP, a greatly extended and improved RISC-VVP, as well as configurations to build a runnable Linux environment, and input/output drivers that form the interface between peripherals and Linux applications. In our experiments employing GUI-VP Kit, we show that well-known X-applications can be executed in GUI-VP using a VNC network connection. Moreover, we demonstrate reasonable speed for a Linux port of a classic first-person 3D-game.
