How do I get an hex file generated by SDCC to be simulated in Pic Simulator IDE?


I have been searching workarounds for many days with no luck. PIC Simulator keeps telling me that the checksum of the hex file is wrong. I already tried changing SDCC‘s hex file output format many times and tried all of them but it is the same error with all of them.

Also, A recommendation for a simulator like PIC Simulator IDE for me to use in GNU/Linux is appreciated, I have tried GPSim many times in different distros but could never get a single program to simulate. So I don’t trust it so far... and because it keeps crashing too.


Solution

  • Mario, it is actually easier than your answer, Just use output format ihx32 in the linker and it will work out of the box.
