Description
Introduction
The TRACE32 Instruction Set Simulator is available for nearly all processor architectures supported by TRACE32. An intensive use of this tool requires a TRACE32 Simulator License.

Peripheral Simulation Model
Lauterbach provides a TRACE32 Simulator API to write a Peripheral Simulation Model. The Peripheral Simulation Model has to be compiled as a library and loaded into TRACE32.
