TM4C123 Simulation !!

I am looking for a software that can simulate TM4C123 MCU, something similar to Protues.  I know that KEIL support simulation but I don't think it's easy to use and need some kind of coding. is there any suggestions ?

    Hi,

    Please note some brands provide incomplete simulators, for almost all brands  the peripherals are bad or even not supported. The best thind you can do is to use a real micro.

    If you really need to check/simulate some algorithm, use whatever is suitable for you at the PC level - GCC, MS VC (with a good debugger).

    With uVision, one could use the Keil "Cortex M" simulation target as well. However, it does ONLY simulate the bare core, and NO vendor peripherals. Getting "real", as Petrei suggests, is the better solution.

    BTW, I'm pretty sure every vendor has some kind of simulation for his silicon, which he uses during the design phase. Obviously, they don't want to share it with all users ...

    So, what do you think about buying a cheap logic analyzer ?

    Hi,

    That would be a good idea - although seems unrelated with simulation. Care about the maximum freqeuency available for cheap products since the measurement results on peripherals operating at high frequencies could be wrong, due to low count sampling points. If this is your case, a better instrument could be a digital oscilloscope which can debug specific interfaces, or an oscilloscope with logic analyzer module.
