Propeller chip emulation/simulation on PC

godzich

Hi,

Please apologize me, a newbie with the propeller, this question might have been askes a 10e6 times before:

How do I simulate/emulate my software code - easily?

I know that I can download my code together with a serial debugging COG (or a TV display COG to show some parameters) to the proto board. This is - however - rather clumsy at some circumstances.

Is there a way I could single step some code snipplets (SPIN and/or assemnly) to evaluate my code - on the PC-screen??? In other words, does a Propeller CPU simulator exist?

It would be nice to be able to run or single-step the code, and at the same time monitor or even alter selected register's contents... After all, debugging IS very important to guarantee the quality of your code. This kind of debugging would make it so much easier. Timing problems would not be possible to test, but that's another story...

Uses proto board and serial port to PC.

THX, will have a look at this closer [noparse]:)[/noparse]

But - is there something available that just runs on the PC (a simulator)???
