without even

Alone, this phrase means \"without even\"

A more colloquial way to translate the phrase is:

\"even if you don\'t own a single piece of hardware.\"

no hardware required

another suggestion:
The advantage of this tool is that its design can be tested in a simulator without any hardware (or without even a single piece of hardware)
HTH!

without the need of even one piece of hardware

might sound right, denpending on the context.

without even

it seems straightforward in this context and is a linguistic 100% match in my view.
"without even having to have a single piece of hardware"
Reference:

none

without [...] even one

Let us analyse the sentence in a correct way by cutting it down in sets of words that belong together as far as meaning is concerned :

"ohne zu haben" = "without having"
"nur ein Stück (Hardware)" = "even one piece of hardware"

Hence: "ohne nur ein Stück Hardware zu haben" = "without having even one piece of hardware"
