The goal of Open Virtual Platforms is to provide the infrastructure technology, open source and free, focused on multicore and speed, for embedded software development, and the infrastructure for this community to grow. The OVP website serves as the portal, with details about the technology, a discussion forum for the community, and links to download each component.
