Instruction Set Simulator
Instruction Set Simulator
The TRACE32 Instruction Set Simulator is used to develop or test application code without the need of a target hardware. It is a built-in feature of our TRACE32 PowerView software and is freely available to all owners of a TRACE32 debug module. The instruction set simulator is also available as trial version for evaluation.
Test the Driver Code of Your Own Peripherals in the Simulator
Lauterbach provides a TRACE32 Simulator API to write a Peripheral Simulation Model (PSM). The PSM contains functions and registers of corresponding physical modules supported by the processor. It is able to simulate any module which significantly increases functionality of the entire simulation environment. Lauterbach provides several examples of Peripheral Simulation Models as reference.
Qualify the TRACE32 Instruction Set Simulator for use in Safety Critical Projects
The TRACE32 Tool Qualification Support-Kit (TQSK) helps you to qualify the TRACE32 Instruction Simulator as valuable tool for unit or integration testing. Tool qualification is typically required in the context of safety-related projects where it is beneficial to test early and closely to the target environment. The target environment is the controller or system where the software will be deployed in the end.
With the TRACE32 Instruction Set Simulator you can execute tests, run Processor-In-The-Loop (PIL) tests or measure the code coverage without the need for development hardware.
Our TQSK is available for selected architectures. Further architectures may be added on request.
