RL-ARM User's Guide

Simulation

You can test the programs you create with the Real-Time Library CAN driver (RL-CAN) using the simulation capabilities of the µVision® IDE. Simulation allows you to test your CAN application before the target hardware is ready.

Follow these steps to test an RL-CAN example application using the µVision Simulator.

1. Copy the example \KEIL\ARM\Boards\Keil\MCBSTM32\RL\CAN\CAN_Ex1 to a new folder.
2. Select and load the project file (CAN_Ex1.UV2) into µVision. This file is located in the folder copied in step 1. In µVision, use Project —> Open Project...
   
   
   
   
3. Select the target Simulator.
   
   
4. Click on Debug —> Start/Stop Debug Session on the menu bar or click the toolbar button to run the simulation.
   
   
5. New windows appear as shown below. These windows show the device peripheral functionality.
   
   
6. Click on Debug —> Run to start the simulation.
   
   
7. The communication messages display in the windows.
   
   
8. Click on the Analog sweep 0 .. 3.3V button, on the Toolbox window, to start the analog value rising from 0 V to 3.3 V and lowering from 3.3 V to 0 V. You can stop the analog value change by clicking on Analog sweep STOP.
   
   
9. Stop the simulation before exiting µVision by clicking on Debug —> Stop on the Debug menu.
