Is it possible to connect an external C++ code (which does not run on 8051) with a 8051 C code ? Is it possible to access the memory space of a 8051 C code, running on the simulator, from an external program? Thanks, Oren.
"Is it possible to connect an external C++ code (which does not run on 8051) with a 8051 C code ?" You cannot connect code. You can, of course, connect two processors via an interface of your choice; then define a suitable protocol; then write suitable software for each processor to perform the required actions. This is, after all, how a debugger works! If your 8051 has on-chip debug hardware and a JTAG interfase (eg, Triscend & Cygnal), you don't even need any software on the 8051. "Is it possible to access the memory space of a 8051 C code, running on the simulator, from an external program?" Keil provide various interfaces to uVision - I think AGSI is the one you want? There's also a DDE interface. There's Application Notes describing both.
Look at Keil's AGDI interface. They have a template API to get you started. You can access memory via the AGDI interface but it will impact your target run time. The AGDI allows the user to create a driver DLL to interface with the Keil debugger. I believe the AGDI is written with MS Visual C++. Somewhere I have read that it would be difficult but not impossible to use Borland C++ Builder. The AGSI allows the user to create a peripheral for simulation. Brad
Thanks a lot
