Serial/UART peripheral question

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible with SimulIDE to use a serial peripheral in a pure standalone terminal manner - without tying it to an actual com port (using Windows 10 ;-)

I was devising a software UART for Microchip PIC that lacks a hardware uart implementation, and the only solution I found was a com0com solution so that :
minicom/WSL on COM7 <-> Simulide on COM6 <-> PIC rx/tx GPIO.

I would be simpler IMHO to use directly the terminal of the serial  (note that sending from PIC to serial perpipheral works fine, but not the reverse as far as I could see).

I was wondering if it was possible with SimulIDE to use a serial peripheral in a pure standalone terminal manner - without tying it to an actual com port (using Windows 10 ;-)

By now it is not possible.
In the development version there is already some support to create a Serial Terminal component, but still very raw.

Btw, 12f683 is not yet included in Simulide 1.x.x, which one are you using?

Hello,
Many thanks for the info ; I was wondering if I missed something about the serial...
Regarding the pic12f683, I created one since I am using it for all my little experiments.
- I am still testing the features though :

- timer0 + interrupt ok
- timer1 + interrupt ok
- timer2 + interrupt ok
- ADC    + interrupt ok
- external interrupt on GP2 ok
- comparator + interrupt ok
- pwm ok

Thanks!

There is a typo in p12F683_perif.xml line 48 (datareg should be "EEDAT" instead of "EEDATA":

Code:

 <rom name="ROM" configregsA="EECON1" configregsB="EECON2"
                  dataregs="EEDAT"

"(datareg should be "EEDAT" instead of "EEDATA"

Good catch indeed :-)
