Memory manipulation commands of µCsim

Every command which changes content of ROM area such as dl or set memory deletes result of code analyzer and causes to re-analyze the code.

file,load "FILE"

 Loads file named FILE into the simulated code memory. File must contain data in Intel HEX format. 
> file "../../remo.hex"
55470 words read from ../../remo.hex
>
Don't forget to enclose file name in quotes to make the parameter to be a string.

download,dl

 Download command. It is same as load above but it reads information from command console which is standard input by default. This command stops read records when it detects an "END" record which is normaly the last record. This command has two equivalent forms download and dl.

fill memory_type start end data

 Fill memory region with specified data. First parameter specifies memory. Name of the memory must be used, it can be checked using info memory command which lists size and name of all available memories.

start and end parameters specify first and last address of the memory region to be filled.

data parameter specifies the data which is used to fill the memory region.

where,Where memory_type data...

 Searching for some data in memory. First parameter specifies memory. Name of the memory must be used, it can be checked using info memory command which lists size and name of all available memories.

Other parameters can be mixed list of strings (characters between " and ") and numbers. Strings can contain escape sequencies. µCsim merges all parameters together and will search for megred list of values in specified memory.

where command do case unsensitive search while Where command is for case sensitive search.

Search is done in whole memory and all matches are dumped out.

memory

 This set of commands can be used to manipulate memory system including chips, address spaces and address decoders.

Subcommands are:

memory createchip
memory createaddressspace
memory createaddressdecoder

memory createchip|cchip id size cellsize

 This command creates a chip (array of storage elements). id must be a unique name which will be used to identify the chip in other commands. size is number of storage elements, cellsize is number of bits stored in one element.

memory createaddressspace|caddressspace|caddrspace|caspace|createaddrspace|createaspace id startaddr size

 This command should never be used. It defines an adress space, names it as id sets its starting address and size. Simulator programs (s51, savr, etc.) define necessary address spaces for themself, so this command is not needed.

memory createaddressdecoder|caddrdecoder|caddressdecoder|cadecoder|createaddrdecoder|createadecoder addressspace begin end chip begin

 Address decoder maps a part of the address space to a chip area. addressspace parameter is name of the address space, begin and end specify address range of the address space to be mapped. chip parameter is name of the memory chip and the second begin parameter is the (start of the) chip address where the area is mapped to.

Address space will be split if a "middle" are is mapped:
