Timer in autoload mode

I use Keil sometimes and while using a timer in autoload mode, the TH0 is loaded with the calculated value but TL0 starts incrementing from 00 instead of the calculated value F0.Am I missing something while using or configuring the keil simulator?

  • How does this simulator help in debug mode when it gets stuck at some point for such a small program?
    The issue is not the size of the program, but whether the particular operation were correctly implemented when the simulator was made.
    You are/were making a somewhat 'exotic' piece of code. Using reload "without making use of the feature" and I can easily see such "slipping through the cracks". I (and I guess most) have never used reload and stop together. Reload is usually used with a "timer tick" that you never stop.

    that's the problem throughout the whole discussion. his code absolutely works: either in simulation or on actual hardware.

    and his code has identical return mechanism to yours. so if his code couldn't return, yours couldn't either.

    all you need to do is to load his code into the compiler and run it through.

    the problem is NOT the code.

    I see no problem in it compiling, but the discussion is about simulating

    PS I got rid of the simulator ages ago when it took me through some frustrating sequences. If I can't emulate/ICE/JTAG/... I do not do.
