NAME

       nitpic - a Microchip PIC simulator

DESCRIPTION

       nitpic   is   an  X  Window  System-based  simulator  for  the  Microchip  PIC  series  of
       microcontrollers.  It currently supports the PIC16C84 only, but it should  be  trivial  to
       add support for the rest of the PIC family, and pretty easy even for unrelated CPUs.

KNOWN SHORTCOMINGS

       •      The 16C84 EEPROM data memory is not implemented.

       •      Writing PCL doesn't cause a jump.

       •      Interrupts, including RTCC rollover, don't work.

       •      The "File" button doesn't let you load a new object file.

       •      No warning on stack overflow.

       •      The   I/O   ports   aren't   handled   properly  (there's  something  screwy  about
              read/modify/write instructions that I don't understand yet).

       •      I'm not sure the ADD and SUB instructions set C and DC properly.

BUGS

       •      Sometimes the instruction pointer gets screwed up (graphics only  —  the  simulator
              keeps working).

       This  manual page was written by Colin Watson for Debian because the original program does
       not have a manual page.  It is a simple translation of parts of nitpic's README  into  the
       manual page format; see that file for more information.
