Overview

• Softwares and README for NVMM Emulator on Xilinx ZC706 board.
  • Implemented by Yu OMORI and Keiji Kimura at Waseda University.

Requirements

• Our NVMM emulator was implemented on Xilinx ZC706 Evaluation Board (Zynq-7000 XC7Z045 SoC)
• To run this NVMM emulator, capacity of SD card must be greater than or equls to 8-GB
