Testing without hardware

[piotrek]

I would like to develop and test (including execution time/CPU cycles) some algorithms without a hardware.

Is this possible?

Hello piotrek:

Kinetis Design Studio does not support chip simulation, so it is not possible.

From your posts I think you are using FRDM-K64, so the next post by peer developer Mark Butcher in the community about uTasker might be interesting for you:

New Freedom FRDM-K64F board

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for a very interesting information on uTasker but I don't think I can use it to optimize my DSP loops. For now it seems that a couple of I/O pins and an oscilloscope are my best friends.

EDIT:

K64 seems to implement DWT_CYCCNT Cycle Count Register. Is this register accessible through the KDS IDE?

Regards,

Piotr
