Full Visibility: Simulation traces data, registers, and instructions and gives a full insight into the system to analyze failures.Inject Dangerous Faults: Simulate conditions critical to hardware without risk.No Hardware Required: Proof of concept testing before hardware design is done.Early Access: Dynamic testing is available at every stage of software development.Enable Use Simulator on the left-hand side of the window: Go to Project ➤ Options for Target and move to the Debug tab. To use simulation, you need to enable it in µVision. Developers can test and debug embedded applications before the hardware is ready. The Simulator option configures the µVision Debugger as a software-only product that simulates the instruction set of an Arm Cortex-M based microcontroller. The instructions are executed upon each reset. Enable Run to main() for executing the instructions up to the first executable statement of the main() function.Enable Load Application at Startup for loading the application into the μVision debugger whenever a debugging session is started.Make sure you enable the following selections on both debug method:
A physical link should be established between the target hardware and the PC on which the IDE is running for target level debugging. If the Target Debugging is selected (right-hand side), the binary file created by the cross-compilation process needs to be downloaded into the target hardware and the debugging is done by single-stepping the firmware.
It is most suitable for offline analysis and rapid code developments. The IDE provides an application firmware debugging environment by simulating the target hardware in a software environment. If the Use Simulator is selected (left-hand side), the firmware need not be downloaded into the target machine.You can either select the Simulator based firmware debugging or a target firmware level debugging from the Debug option. This is a configuration file for basic device setup (clock and memory bus) This file has reset handler and exception vectors (include stack and heap configuration) In the Manage Run-Time Environment window, select the following components for your project:ĬMSIS:CORE - Defines the API for the Cortex-M processor core and peripherals and includes a consistent system startup code.ĭevice:Startup - System startup and low-level device drivers, and it must be used together with the CMSIS:CORE. There are two components that must be selected in your C project for the Tiva LaunchPad board. Click OK and the Manage Run-Time Environment window opens and shows the related software components for the device.EK-TM4C1294XL board: from the list of devices select " Texas Instruments➤Tiva C Series➤TM4C129x Series", and from the new list select TM4C1294NCPDT.window opens and you have to select which processor family will be used EK-TM4C123GXL board: from the list of devices select " Texas Instruments ➤ Tiva C Series ➤ TM4C123x Series" and from the new list select TM4C123GH6PM. The Select Device for Target 'Target1'.Select the project folder that you have prepared, assign this project the following name: MyFirstARMC, then click on the S ave button.In the main μVision menu, select Project ➤ New µVision Project.Let's create your first ARM μVision project now. For example, you can have a folder EE3450 ready beforehand. Next, you will use Keil μVision to create a C project and execute this program on your target Tiva board.īefore you create a new project, it is recommended that you create a folder to store all your projects and files. You will see the following screen.Ĭreate a new Project for the Tiva LaunchPad Board Launch Keil µVision5 by clicking on the icon from the desktop or find this program from the " Start" menu, " All Programs" on your computer.Create a C/C++ Project Startup Keil μVision 5
