NAME¶
nitpic - a Microchip PIC simulator
DESCRIPTION¶
nitpic is an X Window System-based simulator for the Microchip PIC series
of microcontrollers. It currently supports the PIC16C84 only, but it should be
trivial to add support for the rest of the PIC family, and pretty easy even
for unrelated CPUs.
KNOWN SHORTCOMINGS¶
- •
- The 16C84 EEPROM data memory is not implemented.
- •
- Writing PCL doesn't cause a jump.
- •
- Interrupts, including RTCC rollover, don't work.
- •
- The "File" button doesn't let you load a new
object file.
- •
- No warning on stack overflow.
- •
- The I/O ports aren't handled properly (there's something
screwy about read/modify/write instructions that I don't understand
yet).
- •
- I'm not sure the ADD and SUB instructions set C and DC
properly.
BUGS¶
- •
- Sometimes the instruction pointer gets screwed up (graphics
only — the simulator keeps working).
