SimCoder & TI-F28335 Hardware

Target Modules
For Automatic Code Generation
SIMCODER MODULE
AUTOMATIC CODE GENERATION
The SimCoder Module is an add-on option to the PSIM software for
automatic code generation.
SimCoder provides the capability to generate C code automatically from
the PSIM schematic. With SimCoder, users can simulate a system in
PSIM first, then generate C code for specific DSP hardware.
The automatic code generation provides a seamless integration
between simulation and hardware implementation, and greatly speeds
up the development and design process.
At the present, SimCoder supports three hardware targets:
TI-F28335 Hardware Target
PE-Expert3 Target
General Hardware Target
With the TI-F28335 Hardware Target, the generated code can run
directly, without any changes, on any Texas Instruments' floating-point
DSP F28335.
With PE-Expert3 Target, the generated code can run directly, without
any changes, on PE-Expert3 DSP development platform (with Texas
Instruments TMS320C6713 floating-point DSP) from Myway Co
(www.myway.co.jp).
With the General Hardware Target, code can be generated for generictype hardware. Users can make changes to the code and adopt the code
for their own specific hardware.
More hardware targets will be supported in the future.

EVENT CONTROL
Event control is part of SimCoder. It allows users to define multiple
states, and the sequence control between the states.
For example, the system beside shows two states, S1 and S2, and the
transition between the states. One advantage of the event control in
PSIM is that it is very easy to use. Unlike in some software where the
states and system schematics are separately defined, in PSIM, the
definition of states and the corresponding schematic are all in the same
Event control
environment.
This makes very easy to create and edit a system with multiple states.

TI-F28335 HARDWARE TARGET MODULE


The SimCoder allows you to generate C code out of the PSIM control
schematic. The generated code, however, will not run on DSP
hardware as it is. In order to generate the code that can run on a
particular DSP hardware, you need a hardware target.
With the TI-F28335 Hardware Target, you will be able to generate
code that is ready to run on DSP boards that use TI's F28335 floatingpoint DSP.
Beside shows a screenshot of SimCoder with TI-F28335 Hardware
Target. The image shows a 2-ch DC/DC Buck Converter Kit
(TMDSDCDC2KIT), and inside the F28335 DSP. More hardware targets
will be supported in the future.
