Appendix B: Running Keil Tools

B.1 Introduction

The RealView Microcontroller Development Kit that is available from http://www.keil.com/demo simulates not only an ARM microprocessor but a complete microcontroller. A wide variety of microcontrollers are available in the tools, and their peripherals can be driven with inputs to exercise I/O pins, A/D converters, UARTs, etc. For the purpose of simulating the microcontrollers described in each chapter, we’ll need a way to write assembly code without having to read one hundred pages of manuals, so here’s where we bend the rules a bit. While Keil does not formally support building projects in assembly only, it can be done quite easily and the tools provide a nice development environment in which to ...
