3.1.1. Agilex™ 5/ Agilex™ 3 HPS Intel® Simics® Model Architecture

The Agilex™ 5 and Agilex™ 3 HPS Intel® Simics® model architecture follows the same functional subsystem organization as the real hardware. The following subsystems are integrated into the Intel® Simics® model of the Agilex™ 5/ Agilex™ 3 HPS:

  • PSS Subsystem
  • APS Subsystem
  • MPFE
  • Bridges between FPGA and HPS

The Agilex™ 3 HPS Intel® Simics® model is the same model as the Agilex™ 5 HPS Intel® Simics® model except the Agilex™ 3 model has a specific configuration to mimic the functionality of the Agilex™ 3 device.

The following block diagram shows how subsystems are organized in the Agilex™ 5/ Agilex™ 3 HPS Intel® Simics® model:
