Keil MDK supports Arm Virtual Hardware

Arm Virtual Hardware provides simulation models, software tooling, and infrastructure that can be integrated into CI/CD and MLOps development flows. It supports the software development cycle of embedded, IoT, and ML applications and provides essential components for effective test and validation environments. Users benefit from testing without hardware and the ability to verify the correctness of their algorithms. They can also easily evaluate performance on different cores and can apply continuous integration workflows.
