Craig E. Steiner 8052 Simulator for Windows "Complete Windows-based simulator of the 8052 microcontroller" Back to full resume | PDF version of this page Overview In the course of my full-time job at SCAN, I found that it would be useful if I could simulate 8052 programs in Windows rather than having to burn an EPROM each time I wanted to test an 8052 program. As a result, I independently developed this Windows-based simulator which I subsequently used at my full-time job and also made available via the Internet as shareware. This remains a popular program almost 10 years after its initial release to the public. Features Allows Intel-standard HEX files to be loaded into the simulator's memory. Simulates each of the machine language instructions supported by the 8052 microcontroller. Offers full simulation of standard special function registers. Includes support for the three timers supported by the 8052 microcontroller, in each of their operating modes. Supports the full interrupt system offered by the 8052 microcontroller. Simulates the serial port by either sending and receiving serial data to and from a window within the application or to the PC's serial port. Disassembles the program that is currently being simulated so that the user may easily follow what's happening in real-time. Allows the program to be simulated at full speed or on a step-by-step basis. Simulates the execution of each instruction accurately, considering the precise amount of time each type of instruction consumes. Subsequently chosen by TDK Semiconductor, Analog Devices, and Avocet Medical as the basis for specific 8052-based simulation applications that they contracted me to provide. Technology Main application GUI developed in Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0. Underlying simulation core DLL developed in Microsoft Visual C++ 1.51. Craig Steiner's Role Sole designer and developer of the 8052 Simulator for Windows application. Contact Craig Steiner Vault Information Services 8174 S.
