We can see simulator file in CCS3.3, but I cannot find smulator of C28x in CCS5, only F283x.

Is simulator of C28x still supported?

Yanbin,

The "F283x CPU Cycle Accurate Simulator" is the simulator for the C28x. It supports both the C28x fixed-pt. CPU, and also the floating point enabled devices that have the FPU. No peripherals are simulated (they never have been). I suppose it is a poor name choice. Would have been better to call it something like "C28x CPU+FPU Cycle Accurate Simulator."

Regards,

David

Hallo, David:

Thanks for your informtion. BTW, does this "F283x CPU Cycle Accurate Simulator" also support CLA simulation?

Thanks.

Yanbin,

No, the simulator does not support the CLA.

If you need CLA support, I would suggest using a F2806x ControlSTICK, http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdx28069usb. It is cheap ($39), and the F28069 on it has lots of RAM, the FPU, and the CLA. It is small and sticks right in to your PC or laptop. Can be used on an airplane really easy if that is what you are looking for. I think it is better than a simulator. The simulator is limited in what it models (e.g., memory wait-states, memory conflicts, etc.).

Regards,

David

Hi,

Indeed simulators are very useful.

I am using F28335.

If CCSv6 does not provide such feature I would have to stay on CCSv5.

With the simulators we can set easily more breakpoints and we can automate easily the non regression tests (using DSS and java scripts)..
Today there is more and more simulation in the industry.
For instance MathWorks is providing more and more on this ..

What is forecasted on this subject since 2012 ?

Thanks and best regards,

Mathieu

Hello Mathieu,

You can port the simulator over to CCSv6.

You can also get a F2806x Launchpad for $25.
