How can I debug my F2812 projects without a development board(emluator)?

I am learning F2812 by CCS5.3.I have a question why CCS5.3 has not F28xx Cycle Accurate Simulator or F2812 Device Simulator?It has F283x Cycle Accurate Simulato.I am using the CCS5.3 to program,and I want to debug my F2812 projects without a Development board.How can I do this?It has confused me a week!!!

Thank you.

  • Use the F283x cycle accurate simulator if you want a simulator. These are CPU simulators only (instructions set, no peripherals). F2812 is fixed pt., whereas F28335 has floating-pt. instructions too. So, your F2812 code will only be using the fixed-pt. instructions but the simulator won't know or care.

    Incidentally, simulators have been phased out completely starting with CCSv6. There are many low cost development boards available. For a device like C2000, most users want peripheral debug and not just CPU simulation.

    Thanks for your help.
    Is that means F28xx Cycle Accurate Simulator of CCS5.3 is fit to my F2812 projects debugging?

    I have purchased a development board.I want to master the skills of debuging first,and then I will try linking the board to debug.
  • Yes, the CCSv5 simulator can be used with a F2812 project.  Remember that the simulator is CPU only.  There is no support for peripherals.  The simulator is best used to test code that has nothing to do with a peripheral, for example a math algorithm such as a filter.

    OK,I see,thank you very much!
