AGSI Drivers

AGSI is an Application Program Interface (API) third-party developers can use to create simulation drivers that interface directly with the Keil µVision Simulator. The purpose of AGSI is to provide a flexible, high-fidelity simulation environment for embedded software development.

AGSI drivers are DLLs that are created using Microsoft Visual C++ and template files provided by Keil. You can find more information in:

Application Note 154
Implementing DLLs for User-defined Simulation (AGSI)

AGSI drivers can simulate such things as:

• LCD Panels with full graphic display capability.
• Keyboards.
• External peripherals and devices.
• Complete system hardware and environment.
