SIMICE-51 is Raisonance's powerful and easy to use 8051 simulator. It supports most 8051 derivatives by simulating the instruction set AND most peripherals (CAN and USB are currently not simulated, I2C coming Q2 2002). SIMICE-51 comes in two versions: - SIMICE-51 is the standard 8051 simulator supplied with all Raisonance kits - MUL-SIM51 is a super-set of SIMICE-51 and includes advanced features as explained below. It is only delivered with the Enterprise Kit RKitE51. SIMICE-51 | SIMICE-51 implements all the standard functions needed for simulation. The simulator is tightly integrated into RIDE and uses the information generated by the RC-51 or MA-51 tools to provide fully symbolic high-level debugging. SIMICE-51 takes into account the features of the selected component and simulates (in considerable detail) most or all of the internal peripherals. In conjunction with RIDE, it provides numerous ways to simulate external inputs and outputs. SIMICE-51 provides various emulator functions, such as trace management or complex breakpoint control.The fast and smooth integration afforded by RIDE promotes a feeling of familiarity and ease of use, while providing a level of comfort and efficiency that reduces the most difficult and complex applications to tasks that are easily managed. A wide range of 'views' can be selected to provide flexible direct examination of all memory spaces, all internal peripherals, as well as high-level symbolic information. | Function generators allow dynamic signals to be applied to either a port or a memory space of the microcontroller. | MUL-SIM51 | The MUL-SIM51 simulator includes the same features as SIMICE-51 with some additional features and functionality such as: - Multi-processor simulation - Peripheral Development Kit (PDK) - Script facilityThis simulator is dedicated to more specific applications. Multi-processor simulation Within the same session, several simulation 'engines' may be run concurrently which permits multiprocessor simulation. The Net Manager allows ports on two (or more) processors to be connected together or to function generators. In this way the transfer of data between co-operating processors may be simulated and tested. A more sophisticated use is where one processor is programmed to provide a complex set of (test) vectors for another. PDK The Raisonance Peripheral Development Kit (PDK) for RIDE is a software interface by which users can adapt the standard RIDE simulator to create new custom-built simulations. Basically, PDK allows the creation of : | - New peripherals, each associated with a dedicated view/image.
- New memory types and new interrupt sources.
- New "sensitive" addresses such that an access to the address will be redirected to an associated peripheral.
Script The Script Manager allows any sequence of commands to be run automatically by RIDE and its debuggers. The script concept is very useful for repetitive tasks such as : - Running a suite of tests
- Acquiring a series of measurements
- Executing a specific debug session with the debugger in a pre-defined state/condition.
The syntax of the script is ‘C’-like and references built-in functions. | Available Raisonance 8051 Software Tool PackagesRaisonance 8051 Software Tools are offered in several different product packages.
