5.1.1. New Features

Table 3.   New Features in Version 25.3

Feature Description 

Devices Affected 

Component 

Support of the mode of the Agilex™ 3 C-Seires device through the introduction of a new virtual platform. This virtual platform supports the same use cases than virtual platform for Agilex™ 5 device, but restricting the functionality to match the Agilex™ 3 silicon functionality. The functionality is reduced to: 

  • Support of dual-core Arm Cortex-A55 only. 
  • Boot core limited to core 0 (A55) 
  • Core frequency limited up to 800 MHz. 
  • Functionality restricted to Agilex™ 5 production features (B0 stepping). 

Agilex™ 3 C-Series 

Agilex™ 3 C-Series Universal virtual platform (agilex3c-universal) 

Agilex™ 5 GSRD 2.0 provides capability to launch Simics simulations from the GSRD directories used to build the binaries. This allows to exercise basic use cases (boot from SD card and boot from QSPI) in a very simple way. 

Agilex™ 5 E-Series 

GSRD 2.0 Simics Environment
