With extensive support for peripheral modeling, the SingleStep simulator enables developers to develop device drivers, board support packages, and application software well in advance of a hardware prototype. SingleStep advanced simulation solutions give developers a cost-effective way to leverage their productivity, minimize project risk, and sharpen their competitive edge. Enhanced register visibility reduces system complexity Understanding and properly initializing system registers and integrated peripherals can be a challenging task. SingleStep makes it easy. The unique SingleStep register interface provides a hierarchical display of registers and register bit fields.
Users can control whether a particular register group is hidden or visible within the register tree.
Developers can also specify the access mechanisms to be used with an individual register to preserve the integrity of registers that are affected by reads. SingleStep includes predefined displays for all DSP56600 registers, and customizable support for user-defined, memory mapped, or external devices such as ASICs and FPGAs. Target connectivity SingleStep to Motorola DSP566xx supports the parallel command converter and PCI command converter. Remote debugging can be accomplished via the Command Converter Server. This connection allows SingleStep to communicate to remote targets via the local area network.
