About device simulator PAR files

A standard PAR (Platform Archive) is a zip file with a .par extension which provides a way of organizing various files and metadata about a platform into a single entity. By comparison, a “device simulator PAR” includes a simulator SVM (Sedona Virtual Machine) which provides a stubbed implementation of any native methods that the Sedona kits require.

A device simulator PAR is required in order to simulate a device. Typically, the device simulator PAR file is supplied by the vendor of the device you are using.

NoteIf you do not have the device simulator for a particular platform, contact the vendor of that Sedona platform. Otherwise, you can install a sample device simulator platform which is included in the Sedona TXS-1.2 Bundle.
