You're asking about a software simulator. I've only used the one provided by IAR - but it is impressive. It's configurable and you can program IRQ's - etc. I think the simulator may work in the free 8KB version - you can go to www.iar.com and take a look.

Hello, I am looking for a software program mentioned in the topic of this message.

I am trying hard to avoid embedded stuff these days, but potential contract has come my way recently that needs some embeeded stuff. So whilst I am nutting out requirements I also need to put thought to software. I have made the descision that the software must be based on an OS and must have a c++ compiler. RTOS is not required. So the debate in my brain has been fired off. My first thoug...

Hello, I have hooked alphanumerical LCDs on some uCs in the past and I have always had to adjust the software to the actually installed module. I have a small collection of "compatible" displays with 1 to 4 lines and 8 to 40 char/line so the software could become messy. In applications or situations where the LCD model is not pre-determined (like, a customer intends to upgrade to another...

Hi, Is there any difference (hardware-wise) in the "radios" (chipsets) on the AP end of a 802.11b/g/n link and those on the "client" end? I.e., is the difference merely one of antenna gain, Tx power and *firmware* (meaning software that conceivably *could* be rewritten vs. software that is deeply and immutably buried within the chipsets)? Said yet another way, could 'n' PC's with wire...

For SDRAM, th...
