Software debugger and timers

[Paolino]

I am debugging (software debug) a very simple code for a PIC12F675. I am using both TIMER 0 and TIMER 1. In the WATCH window I check that, for example, TMR1ON bit is 1 but TMR1H and TMR1L registers do not increment. The same happen to TIMER 0. Prescaler is 1:1 for both timers.

The question is: do the software debugger increment timers or not?

Thank you.

Paolo.

Hi.
I have the same issue, and this is what MikroC help says about timers:

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

Hopefully, it will be implemented in future.

oklopnik,
thank you. I really lost that "note" of MikroC Help.
I will ask that issue in the wish list.
