Getting Started

Corellium is a powerful platform that allows you to run virtualized instances of physical devices.

Our core technology is powered by CHARM™ — our custom type-1 hypervisor designed to run multiple complex devices, peripherals, and chipsets on a single, cutting-edge Arm server, allowing us to virtualize devices on their native architecture. From advanced security research to mobile app testing, our technology empowers critical development work across the Arm ecosystem.

Arm Virtual Hardware (AVH) for third-party boards provides cloud-based functionally accurate virtual models of popular IoT development kits, simulating CPU, peripherals, sensors and board components. It allows developers to execute the same binaries as on the real hardware and so leverage the board SDKs and software code examples. See the AVH solutions page for a high-level overview.

The only hypervisor designed specifically to virtualize mobile devices​

Unlike other hypervisors, CHARM™ wasn’t ported to Arm: it was built for Arm from the ground up. Corellium's hypervisor also wasn’t built to virtualize servers: it was specifically designed to handle the complex peripherals and chip architectures of mobile devices.

Transparent 32-bit translation for Cortex-R and Cortex-M Cores​

Corellium's Arm2Arm feature provides transparent 32-bit translation for 32-bit code, so developers can run apps with 32-bit libraries on 64-bit server hardware without making any modifications to their code.

Realistic, highly performant interaction and visual display​

To optimize user interaction with the virtual display, Corellium's hypervisor provides hardware-accelerated H.264 / H.265 compression and GPU support with OpenGL ES pass-through. Our proprietary WebRTC implementation re-encodes display for ultra-smooth rendering.

Sophisticated container technology​

Our hypervisor has the flexibility to run not only virtual devices but also containerized applications. Our container technology uniquely runs LXC-style Android containers on Android, sharing services to enable greater resource density for use cases like application streaming.

Ability to plug simulated hardware into virtual devices​

The Corellium hypervisor CoreHDL feature enables developers to plug their simulated hardware into virtual devices for hardware design, verification, and bring-up.

Performance out of the box​

Corellium offers turnkey, out-of-the-box software, as well as a deeply customizable platform, resulting in rich native-like experiences, sophisticated rendering, and smooth graphics.
