Hi Orlando,
You can simulate your Microblaze system within XPS and having a small application in FPGA internal BRAMs. I do this mainly for testing/debugging self made peripherals.
The tool you can use therefore is Modelsim. But for Linux you need to place the code in external memory and therefore you would need a
DDR memory model initialized with the linux code. Apart from that it will take far too long and probably your system would hang up so I don't recommend this.
If you want to do a system simulation with code in the BRAMs please refer to the Xilinx documentation or contact Xilinx support.
This is a Linux forum and is not discussing this topic.

Thank you very much Steven !!!, Now I can see now the manage of peripherals.
Is there any software tool to simulate an embedded system behaviour (like
modelSim for VHDL, example), something that allows me to virtually test the
system with no need of my Xilinx Spartan3E Starter Kit all the time?
