How do i test my UART driver without any hardware ?

Hi

I am developing a UART driver for the MSP430 microcontroller . I dont have the hardware to test it . Is it possible to test my code without the actual hardware ?

what is simulator and emulator ?

Thanks

Rexlin

  • Rexlin,

    Due to the variety of peripherals between the parts and the reduced cost of hardware tools, the MSP430 does not have a software simulator in CCS. Therefore I strongly suggest you to obtain a hardware tool to properly test your UART code.

    Check the TI eStore or talk to your local distributor to learn what your purchasing options are.

    To answer your question, check the topics Simulation and Emulation at the TI's wiki.
