How to access a file on computer during simulation on ARM processor

Dear All,

I want to simulate a cjpeg code written for generic ARM processor. During simulation I want to pass an image to be compressed which is already stored on my host machine. After compression the jpeg file needs to be written back on computer memory.

Can any one let me know is it possible with ARM development suit? If yes then how?

  • Sure it is possible. But your ARM processor is "generic" so it will not have any shared memory with your PC.

    Hence you need to use a communication interface to send the data from host machine to ARM and the result from ARM to the host machine. Doesn't sound too strange, does it? How about a lowly serial port? Way easier than implementing a USB interface, if you are stuck as early as this.
