    <h1>Starting the simulator</h1>
    
    There are separate programs to simulate different microcontroller
    families:

    <p>Intel MCS48 family is simulated by <b>ucsim_i8048</b> <br>
      Intel MCS51 family is simulated by <b>ucsim_51</b> <br>
      Intel MCS80/85 family is simulated by <b>ucsim_i8085</b> <br>
      Philips XA processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_xa</b> <br>
      Atmel AVR processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_avr</b> <br>
      Zilog Z80 family is simulated by <b>ucsim_z80</b> <br>
      Toshiba TLCS90 processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_tlcs</b> <br>
      Rabbit family is simulated by <b>ucsim_rxk</b> <br>
      Motorola M68HC08 processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_m68hc08</b> <br>
      Motorola MC6800 processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_m6800</b> <br>
      Motorola MC6809 processor family is simulated by <b>ucsim_m6809</b><br>
      Motorola MC68HC11 processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_m68hc11</b> <br>
      Motorola MC68HC12 processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_m68hc12</b> <br>
      MOS MOS6502 processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_mos6502</b> <br>
      ST ST7 processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_st7</b> <br>
      ST STM8 family is simulated by <b>ucsim_stm8</b> <br>
      Padauk family is simulated by <b>ucsim_pdk</b> <br>
      PicoBlaze processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_pblaze</b> <br>
      p1516 processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_p1516</b> <br>
      f8 processor is simulated by <b>ucsim_f8</b> <br>
      OISC processors are simulated ny <b>ucsim_oisc</b>
    </p>

    <p>The simulator can be started in the following way: </p>

    <p><tt><font color="blue">$</font> ucsim_XXX [-bBEgGhHlPqVvw] [-a
      nr] [-c file] [-C cfg_file] [-e command] [-I if_optionlist] [-k
      portnum] [-o colorlist] [-p prompt] [-R seed]\n [-s file] [-S
      optionlist] [-t CPU] [-U uartnr] [-u hw] [-X freq[k|M]]\n [-z
      portnum] [-Z portnum] [files...]</tt> </p>
    
    <p>Specified files must be names of Intel hex or Motorola S19
      files. Some simulators may accept some other file formats, for
      example ucsim_p1516 accepts .p2h file which is internal format
      of
      the <a href="https://danieldrotos.github.io/p12dev/">development
      system</a>. Simulator loads the files in the specified order
      into the ROM of the simulated system. If the file is specified
      without extension, the simulator will try to find intel hex file
      (filename extended with .hex), omf file (with .omf) and cdb file
      (with .cdb extension). Simulator can interpret content of
      these <a href="https://sdcc.sourceforge.net/">SDCC</a> output
      files and reads information from them.</p>
    
    <p>Options: </p>

    <dl>

      <dt><span style="font-family: monospace;"><b>-a
	nr</b></span></dt>
      
      <dd>Set size of variable space. Default is 256.</dd>

	console when a breakpoint hits.</dd>


      <dt><a name="lccoption"><tt><b>-c file</b></tt></a> </dt>

      <dd>Open command console on <b>file</b>. Command consoles are on
        standard input and output by default. Using this option the
        console can be opened on any file for example on the serial
        interface of the computer.</dd>

      
      <dt><span style="font-family: monospace;"><b>-C cfg_file</b></span></dt>

	   <dt><tt>-d portnum</tt></dt>

	   <dd>Act as gdbserver, listen on <b>portnum</b> for gdb connections.</dd>
	 -->
      
      <dt><b><tt>-e command</tt></b></dt>

      <dd>Execute command at program startup (after config
	file and input files).</dd>


      <dt><tt><b>-E</b></tt></dt>

      <dd>Start simulation when the program is loaded, but use
	emulation mode instead of normal run mode.</dd>


      <dt><tt><b>-g</b></tt></dt>

      <dd>Go, start simulation when the program is loaded.</dd>

      
      <dt><tt><b>-G</b></tt></dt>

        simulator when the simulation stops (maybe on breakpoint).</dd>



      <dt><tt><b>-h</b></tt> </dt>

      <dd>Print out a short help about the options and stop. </dd>
      

      <dt><tt><b><a name="H-option">-H</a></b></tt> </dt>

      <dd>Print out types of known CPUs. Names printed out by this option can be
        used to determine CPU type using <tt><b>-t</b></tt> option. </dd>


      <dt><tt><b>-I if=memory[address],in=file,out=file</b></tt></dt>

      <dd>Specify options (as comma separated list) for the simulator interface.
        <b>if</b> option turns on the interface and specifies address
        space and location for use by the interface. <b>in</b>
        and <b>out</b> can be used to specify file names to use for
        file IO.

      <dd>Listen for incoming connections on port <b>portnum</b>. When this
        port connected, the connection will be attached to simulated UART0.This
        option is not useful for other UARTs, so it is better to use the more
        general -S option. </dd>


      <dt><b><tt>-l</tt></b></dt>

      <dd>Use colors of light theme (default is dark)</dd>

        <i>colspec</i> can be a rendering option, or a color name. First color
        name is used for foreground color and the last one will be the color of
        background. Rendering options are:<br>
        <ul>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">b</span> bold</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">f</span> faint</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">i</span> italic</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">u</span> undelined</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">d</span> double underlined</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">c</span> crossed over</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">o</span> overlined</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">k</span> or <span style="font-family: monospace;">l</span>
            blink</li>
        </ul>
        Color name can be a predefined name, or an RGB value. Known names are:<br>
        <ul>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">black</span></li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">bblack</span> (bright black,
            this is grey on some terminals)</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">red</span></li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">bred</span> (bright red)</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">green</span></li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">bgreen</span> (bright green)</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">yellow</span></li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">byellow</span> (bright
            yellow)</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">blue</span></li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">bblue</span> (bright blue)</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">magenta</span></li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">bmagenta</span> (bright
            magenta)</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">cyan</span></li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">bcyan</span> (bright cyan)</li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">white</span></li>
          <li><span style="font-family: monospace;">bwhite</span> (bright white)</li>
        </ul>
        How the named colors appear on the screen depends on the terminal
        emulator program.<br>
        RGB values can be specified as <span style="font-family: monospace;">#RRGGBB</span>
        where components are two character hexadecimal values of the red, green
        and blue.<br>
        Example (set prompt to blinking bold white on green, and set command to
        underlined bright green on black):<br>

	<span style="font-family: monospace;">-o
          prompt=lb:white:green,command=u:bgreen:black</span></dd>


      <dt><tt><b>-p prompt</b></tt> </dt>

      <dd>Using this option you can specify any string to be the prompt of
        command interpreter, for example:
        <pre><font color="blue">$</font> ucsim_51 -p "s51&gt; "

      </dd>

      
      <dt><tt><b>-P</b></tt> </dt>

      <dd>Prompt will be a null ('\0') character. This feature can be useful for
        programs which controls simulator through a pipe. </dd>


      <dt><tt><b>-R seed</b></tt></dt>

      <dd>Set seed value for the random number generator.</dd>
      

      <dt><tt><b>-s file</b></tt> </dt>

      <dd>Connect serial interface (UART0) of the simulated microcontroller to
        the <b>file</b>. Nothing is used by default which means that characters
        transmitted by serial interface of the simulated microcontroller go to
        nowhere and it will never receive anything. If you are going to
        communicate with serial interface interactively the best idea is to
        specify a terminal with -s option. </dd>

      
      <dt><tt><b>-S uart=nr,in=file,out=file,port=nr,iport=nr,oport=nr,raw</b></tt></dt>
      
      <dd>Using this option you can specify different files for input and output
        streams that <i>&micro;Csim</i> uses to simulate microprocessor's serial
        interface. <br>
        See <a href="serial.html">more about serial interface simulation</a>. </dd>


      <dt><tt><b>-t CPU</b></tt> </dt>

      <dd>Type of CPU. Recognized types are different for different
        simulators, for example MCS51 simulator recognizes 51, 8051,
        8751, C51, 80C51, 87C51, 31, 8031, C31, 80C31, 52, 8052, 8752,
        C52, 80C52, 87C52, 32, 8032, C32, 80C32, 51R, 51RA, 51RB,
        51RC, C51R, C51RA, C51RB, C51RC, 89C51R, 251, C251, DS390,
        DS390F. Note that recognition of a CPU type as option does not
        mean that the simulator can simulate that kind of CPU.
        Default type is C51. <br> DS390 supports Dallas DS80C390 24
        bit flat mode, dual-dptr operations, etc. DS390F is the same
        as DS390, but it starts already in 24 bit flat mode (ACON =
        0xFA instead of 0xF8). DS390F is needed to run programs
        compiled with sdcc -mds390.<br>
        <tt>-H</tt> option can be used to list all of recognized CPU
        types.<br>  See <a href="cpu_types.html">how to select CPU
          type</a>. </dd>


      <dt><tt><b>-U uartnr</b></tt></dt>

      <dd>Connect console of standard io to uart as
	a <a href="display.html#uart_display">display</a> of it. ID of
	the uart must be specified as parameter to -U option.</dd>


      <dt><tt><b>-u hw</b></tt></dt>

      <dd>Connect console of standard io to a hardware element

      <dd>If sockets are available on the system, <i>&micro;Csim</i>
	listens on port <b>portnum</b> for incoming connections and

	using this option.
	<a href="cmd_general.html#q">quit</a> command
	exits <i>&micro;Csim</i> only if not active connection is

      <dd>Listen for incoming connections on
        port <b>portnum</b>. Using this option <i>&micro;Csim</i> can
        serve multiple consoles. You can get a console by simply
        telnet into machine running <i>&micro;Csim</i> to
        port <b>portnumber</b>.  This option is not available on
        platforms which doesn't support BSD networking. If -Z option
        is used, instead of <a href="#lczoption">-z</a>, then default
        console on stdio will not be opened, and the only way to open
        a console is using telnet to portnum.
