CCS/OMAP-L138: Simulate OMAP-L138 PRU Code

Part Number: OMAP-L138
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi there,

at the moment, I am doing a project with OMAP-L138. This project is based on a former one which used OMAP-L138, too.

In the former projects, PRU code was developed in assembly language using pasm.exe Assembler to generate a C Array which was loaded into PRU by ARM.

Now we want to use the PRU C-Compiler to write the PRU Code in C language and create the C Array for download using Hex Utility. This works perfectly fine.

The only task being left is to test the newly written PRU Code. Here a colleague of mine told me that when they developed the former project, they had a tool which enabled them to simulate a PRU on their PC and to do the PRU software tests like this. Unfortunately, he cannot remember how this tool was called.

Now my question is: Does someone know the Tool described above and can tell me how its name is. Does this tool still work for TI PRU C Compiler based projects?

What are alternative possibilities to test PRU code? Are there any other Tools emulating a omap-l138 hardware or can I only debug this on a real hardware?

I am looking forward to your hints.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Chris
