SimulAVR can be used either +standalone or as a remote target for avr-gdb. There is a python +and TCL interface. When used in gdbserver mode, the simulator is used +as a back-end so that avr-gdb can be used as a source level debugger +for AVR programs. + +SimulAVR started out as a C based project written by Theodore Roth +in 2001. Klaus Rudolph started then in 2004 to rewrite the hardware +simulation part in C++. Only the instruction decoder and the avr-gdb +interface are mostly copied from the original simulavr sources. +This C++ based version was known as simulavrxx until it became +feature compatibile with the old simulavr code, then it +was renamed back to simulavr. |
