Simulator for ARM and LPC controller

[ps_arunkumar]

Hi all,

Could anyone please suggest me any simulators for ARM and LPC controllers. I am using Proteus 7.7 but I am independent to simulate and I ofter I get CPU overload message. I have 4GB RAM, 2.66GHz Core Duo Processor, 1GB Nvidia Gforce graphics card but still i am getting the error. Also, I killed process in my computer which are not needed. Please suggest me any other simulators.


thanks,
Arun

Keil has an integrated software simulator , you can view an interact with all peripherals and registers of the device and view graphs but you can only simulate the mcu on its own , no other external devices like in Proteus.
The other solution is real jtag debugging in hardware level.

Maybe you can simplify the circuit in proteus and leave just a few essential parts in order to speed up the simulation.

Could you please tell how to use the integrated KEIL simulator and also is there any documents related to that.

In Proteus, i am simulation the Blinky example which comes with MDK-Lite. I have 8 LED connected to LPC2134. Simulation runs for 0.4 sec and then gives me error as CPU overload.

cpu overload is not an error, it is just a warning that the simulation in not in real time, the simulation is just running is slower time but you can see the exact execution time in the task bar.

In keil open the project options and then the debug card, there select the left side (use simulator), then use debug start.
While debugging go to the peripheral menu to open the peripheral windows that you want in order to view/edit any values.

Debug was set to ULINK ARM Debugger. I changed to Simulator and able to see the debug. When i select settings, it gives warning as "Selected device has no configuration options". What does this mean?
