Using Integrity simulator
Note
The instructions in this document have been designed for AdaMulti v4.0.7 and Integrity 5.0.4
Prerequisites
Make sure you have followed the steps in section 1.1 « Installation notes » of the « Rhapsody Developer for Ada Code Generator User’s Guide »
As Integrity environment is not maintained any more, you should also install the integrity pack which includes new environments, and the procedure to install FWK for these environments.
- Recompile the code generated from the behavioral framework model for Integrity
- Recompile the animation libraries for Integrity
- Note that for the simulator, the target CPU shall be set to « sim800 »
Building a Kernel
- Before we can load a Rhapsody built application onto the simulator, we must build a Kernel
- Create a new Integrity Project
New Project Wizard
- The New Project Wizard appears.
-
- Choose PowerPC/Integrity/Integrity Power PC Simulator BSP
- Make sure to have the correct path to the Integrity Distribution
- Click Next
Create an Image
- Choose Language C (does not matter that your Rhapsody project maybe Ada or C++)
- Choose Monolith Image
-
You may want to place the project in a convenient location so you can find it easily before a simulation
Kernel Options
- Click Next
- Goto Kernel Options Tab and tick everything
- Click Finish
Kernel Project
-
The Builder Window now opens up with this default project containing one address space and a simple hello world app.
Build the Kernel
-
Build the Kernel from the Build menu (or F7)
Connect to Target
-
Click Connect on the Toolbar
Connect ..
- When the Connection Chooser appears, click Connect
-
The Builder window indicates a connection
Loading the Kernel
- In the Builder Window, hit Debug:
- This opens the default application:
Open Target Windows
-
From the Target Menu, choose Show Target Windows
- A Target Window and an IO window have opened
- The IO is not required so close that window
Run the Default App
- Back on the Debug window, click Run
-
The Target window shows the Kernel loading and the simple Hello World runs
Before a Simulation
- We have used a simple Hello World project we can use to Boot up a Kernel that we can place our Rhapsody projects onto.
- Thus we have a Kernel, (with one address space containing the hello world). Our Rhapsody project will run on this Kernel in it’s own address space.
- So – before a simulation:
-
- Load Multi
- Open this kernel project.
- Click Debug and click Run.
- The Kernel will load
- Thus we have a Kernel, (with one address space containing the hello world). Our Rhapsody project will run on this Kernel in it’s own address space.
Starting TFTP
- Start the tftpd32.exe program located in the GHS installation directory.
-
This program is used to load executables into the simulator
Creating a Runtime Debug Server
- First minimise all windows but the Debug window
-
From the Target menu, click Show Connection Organiser:
- Click default.con
- Double-Click the INDRT connection (rtserv)
Host or Target?
- In the Target Name box, enter either your hostname or the IP address of your target.
- Hit Apply
-
Hit Connect
The Tasks Window
-
The Task window should now appear. This is a dynamic view of the tasks on the Kernel at the time. It also serves as a ‘front end’ to the Runtime Debug Server.
Target Windows
- From the Target Menu on the Tasks Window, Choose ‘Show Target Windows’
-
Note that these new windows are for the application – so we will keep the IO window open this time
Load a Module
-
From the Target menu – choose Load Module
-
Load the .mod file generated by Rhapsody
Starting the module
- A new task shall appear, named after the executable
-
Select it and click on ‘Continue selected tasks’
Debug
- If the model is animated, a new task shall appear shortly
-
And the animation bar in Rhapsody shall be enable
- Now you can animate the model
- Beware – the Simulator is quite slow
Resetting the animation toolbar
Once you’re done animating, to reset the animation toolbar, you have to disconnect the kernel from the simulator
