From: Rowan Sylvester-Bradley on 6 Feb 2010 13:06 Can anyone recommend a simulator/debugger for 8051 family microcomputers (specifically I need it to support the Dallas 80C320)? It needs to: - run on Windows, preferably Vista but failing that, XP - allow code to run and be debugged without hardware - allow breakpoints to be inserted, single stepping, step-into etc. - allow the values of registers and memory locations to be inspected and if necessary changed when the code is stopped - allow the states of hardware inputs (usually digital input pins) to be changed and outputs to be inspected when the code is stopped - be free or a lot cheaper than the Keil package, which I would use if I could justify it for this project. Of course it could do a lot more besides, but the above would be enough as a minimum. I've seen many packages recommended or mentioned in this group and elsewhere, but many of these recommendations go back 5 or 10 years, don't mention modern versions of Windows, or the packages they refer to don't seem to be available any more (Medwin, for example). Thanks - Rowan

Also consider using the inbuilt ISP and RS232 to develop your own internal debug dump routines....nad op data to a PC vioa the com port. easy....

If it won't simulate the features of the 80C320 that my code uses, then it won't really do the job, it seems to me. I have written to the author to see if either he will enhance it to do this, or will allow me to do so.

Yes - it's worth considering this technique, but my first requirement is to be able to debug the code in a simulator environment. Does anyone know of _any_ simulator/debugger that will definitely simulate the 80C320, and that's cheaper than the Keil? Thanks - Rowan

If EdSim is table based, on the Opcode-times, it should be simple enough to spin a 80320 version. There are a lot of C51 core variants now, so you'd need half a dozen timing tables at least. - and some have more than one timing choice. -jg |
