VTOS Builder user-configurable verification and test OS provides a test platform for quick verification of new design and debug problems in embedded hardware. Tests for design correctness and production readiness in less than one week. Is reportedly easily configurable for new prototype hardware. Can be used across multiple embedded design projects. Loads and runs on custom hardware in 30 minutes. Uses a device tree without compilation. No OS porting required. New components can easily be added and device parameters configured by editing the device tree.
