Abstract

In this paper, a general-purpose MCU simulation software is introduced. The software utilizes an open architecture based on plug-in mechanism. It can simulate various MCU and peripherals in high accuracy and support for diversified compilers through different plug-in modules. In this way, a MCU simulation environment can be established on PC, it can provide powerful and convenient debugging and analysis function than in the real hardware. Actual applications especially in education area proved that the software can satisfy the multiple MCU needs and possess excellent flexible and practical features. Furthermore, we can develop new plug-ins to expand the software function in the future.
