Digital Signal Processor: Software Simulator
J. Aagesen · Bell System Technical Journal · 1981
One of the development aids for the digital signal processor (DSP) is a software simulator, dspsim, which runs interactively under the UNIX∗operating system. It is a program debugging tool which can be used without access to the DSP hardware environment. It allows the user to monitor run-time characteristics of DSP programs which cannot be observed using the device itself. It is very flexible in providing capabilities for single or multiple program stepping, setting and modifying conditional breakpoints, examining register contents and generating data plots on the terminal.
