7.9.8.66. GEL_SetSimMode()

Sets the simulator mode.

Syntax

GEL_SetSimMode( mode );

Parameters

mode specifies the simulator mode.

Mode Emulation mode Simulation mode

Value 0 1 (default)

Description

This function enables you to switch the simulator between emulation and simulation mode. Simulator mode is set by default.

Emulation mode causes the simulator to behave like the emulator with regards to flushing the pipeline when single-stepping. This mode is useful when you want to functionally debug your program.

Use simulation mode when you want to optimize your program by removing pipeline stalls and conflicts. Simulation mode allows you to advance the pipeline by 1 cycle at a time, or by 1 instruction. In simulation mode, the pipeline is not flushed, so it is more cycle accurate.
