Timer1 peripheral in software Debug

[dyjt03]

Hello,

I've been trying to get timer1 interrupt running in pic32mx230f256b. However, (Software debug mode) stepping through code; TMR1 register wasn't updating.
I recheck all timer1 peripheral initialization
( T1Conbits. On = 1) register and found no problem.

So I decided to try and run another project example provided by mikroC pic32 folder:
C:\mikroc pro for Pic32\ Examples\ Internal MCU\ PIC32MZ2048EFH144\ Timer1 Interrupt\ Timer1 Interrupt. mcp32.

Again stepping through code with provided example in software debug mode, TMR1 register in watchlist still not updating when stepping through code.

Have anyone have tried stepping through the codes example with TMR1 register updating during software debug?. Thanks.

BTw I had ported the code in microchip XC32 with no problems in debug mode.

Hi,

The Software Simulator simulates the program flow and execution of instruction lines, but it cannot fully emulate device behavior, i.e. it doesn’t update timers, interrupt flags, etc.

I suggest you to use hardware debugger for this purpose.
