8255 simulation

Is it possible to simulate the 8255 by a plugin or anything else in keil µvision 2 ?

  • As an exercise in interfacing, it is a perfectly valid exercise. As an example of current practice, it isn't.
    making a device made for MMIO work with port I/O because it is too slow for MMIO with todays practice, or run a 12 clock '51 with a 4 MHz crystal and do MMIO.

    To the OP: the main validity in an exercise with a 8255 is to teach you to check timing of all devices in the datasheets, putting a modern '51 and a 8255 together 'naturally' WILL fail.
