Version 3.60, Build J released on 2008-Oct 20
of ASH WARE's TPU Stand-Alone Simulator is now available!
- Thread window for determination of worst case thread length
- Channel nodes observable in logic analyzer window
- Thread Activity observable in logic analyzer window
ASH WARE's TPU Simulator, the first and only commercially available
simulator for Freescale's Time Processor Unit (TPU), fully supports
all currently available TPUs for the MPC5xx, 683xx, and HC16 microcontroller
lines. Whether used as a stand-alone product or in multiple-target
mode, this easy-to-use development tool with advanced debugging
capabilities will significantly decrease your TPU microcode development
time and improve the quality of your final product. This is the product
used by most American and European automotive and truck manufacturers
for development of their engine (EFI) fuel control TPU microcode.
Features
- Automation, launch from command shell specifying project
and script files. A single pass/fail exit code. Run multiple tests
by launching multiple times from a batch file, no user intervention
is required!
- Superior tracing, including pin transitions, parameter
RAM I/O, and capture/match events saved to the trace buffer.
- Stream trace data to a file, ideal for post processing.
Two file formats are provided, one is optimized for viewing and
the other for parsing.
- All Freescale TPUs are supported, including TPU1, TPU2,
and TPU3.
- Powerful C-like script command language.
- Powerful test vector generation language with embedded
loops and node grouping.
- Integrated graphical logic analyser that supports 30 nodes
with zoom control, scrolling, cursors, windows resizing, etc.
- Powerful execution control including goto cursor (instruction
or script command), breakpoints, single step (instruction or script
command), step in, step over, step out, step atomic, goto time,
goto delta time, etc.
- An auto-detect feature to determine the target.
- Association of ISR script commands files with interrupts.
Script commands files can be associated with TPU interrupts. When
the interrupt associated with a particular TPU channel becomes asserted
the ISR script commands file associated with that channel gets executed.
- Direct register modification. Allows register modification
within the IDE, bypassing the script file.
- Editable memory window.
- Functional verification. Allows you to define your code
requirements in terms of pin transitions and data flow and automatically
verify your code against these requirements. This will run in batch
mode and will generate PASS/FAIL report files. Great for formal
code verification! (Helps with DO178B.)
- Code and jump coverage analyses. Helps you meet the requirements
of DO178B by telling you how complete your test cases are.
- External logic simulation. Helps to model the external
system by instantiation of Boolean logic external to the TPUs. Thus
inputs can be driven by combinatorial logic applied to outputs.
This can be particularly helpful in the modelling of communications
channels such as CAN or RS485 where an output channel can be wrapped
around to drive an input channel.
- Integrated timers to aid performance analysis.
- Support for automated verification.
- Trace buffers, allowing you to find source code line of
traced instruction.
- Code coverage analysis.
- TPUMASM support. Supports Freescale's TPUMASM TPU Microcode
Assembler, TPUMASM.exe.
- Complete user manual and context-sensitive, on-line
help.
- User-friendly interface, which runs under Windows XP, 2000,
NT 4.0, 98, 95, ME.
- Web software upgrades.
