Software Simulator
The Source-level Software Simulator is an integral component of the mikroC PRO for PIC32 environment. It is
designed to simulate operations of the Microchip PIC32 MCUs and assist the users in debugging code written for these
devices.
Upon completion of writing your program, choose Release build Type in the Project Settings window:
After you have successfuly compiled your project, you can run the Software Simulator by selecting Run Start
Debugger from the drop-down menu, or by clicking the Start Debugger Icon from the Debugger Toolbar.
Starting the Software Simulator makes more options available: Step Into, Step Over, Step Out, Run to Cursor, etc. Line
that is to be executed is color highlighted (blue by default).
Note: The Software Simulator simulates the program ow and execution of instruction lines, but it cannot fully emulate
PIC32 device behavior, i.e. it doesn’t update timers, interrupt ags, etc.
