Development environment and test enviornment
Development environment and test enviornment
Can someone please point me in a direction for creating an environment where I can test code on the the microprocessor. What is everyone using. Bear in mind I am new to working with downloading code to a microprocessor. How can I test code on the microprocessor? How do I see the results of a test? What software tools will make this easy for someone who has never programmed a microprocessor before?
Re: Development environment and test enviornment
If you want to see real results first hand, you will need at the least, some LEDs and drivers for them, an RPM input for it and matching code, and an oscilloscope to view the wave forms. I have a thread for my hardware setup and one for everything I've learned coding on it. Both are probably worth a read. At least 3 of us have setups for testing this so if you just want to write code and throw it to me I can include it in a release after reviewing it myself (mainly for understanding :-) ).
My setup consists of two 160x100 eurocards with two 50pin IDC ribbons coming from the CPU card a lot of transistors, a lot of LEDs, a JimStim, and a basic power supply. I also found it very helpful to use a piezo on various outputs to check for smoothness and jitter (really highlights interrupt load! and also bad signals from poor grounding etc). My scope is my soundcard with xoscope running. It all works pretty well considering the cost of it :-)
There is a "jump in the deep end" thread with some links in it in the announcements section I think.

Fred, have you *forgotten* about my project?
anyway, to OP, while still raw, the testbed i occasionally work on is supposed to do exactly what you were asking about (i assume you ask about testing the MCU operation in context of engine control)
Look at my sig for references, and search for freeesim
