Simics Add-on QSP-Clear-Linux 6.0

Simics Add-on QSP-Clear-Linux by Wind River Systems Inc. provides a ready-to-run Clear Linux environment on the Simics Quick Start Platform (QSP) virtual x86 machine. It delivers a preconfigured guest OS, target setup, and automation assets so developers can boot Clear Linux in Simics, iterate on software, and validate system behavior without relying on physical hardware.

Key features:

• Prebuilt Clear Linux (x86-64) image configured for the Simics QSP target
• Works seamlessly with Simics capabilities: deterministic execution, checkpoints/snapshots, reverse execution, and scripting
• Full root access for system work, with Clear Linux package management (swupd) available in the guest
• Supports headless and GUI workflows, remote debugging, and multi-machine/networked simulations
• Sample scripts and scenarios to streamline setup, automation, and repeatable test runs

Typical use cases:

• OS bring-up, kernel and driver experimentation, and low-level debugging in a safe, reversible environment
• Application development and integration testing on Clear Linux without dedicated lab hardware
• Continuous integration, regression, and system validation with reproducible states across teams
• Education, demos, and proof-of-concept evaluations of Clear Linux on a virtual x86 platform

Prerequisites:

• Wind River Simics base installation and a valid license
• Supported host system and sufficient disk space for the guest image and checkpoints

This add-on helps teams accelerate development and improve reliability by combining Clear Linux with Simics’s powerful, deterministic simulation, automation, and debugging workflows.
