RI Tools for Programming Embedded Systems

Download

Description

The RI Tools support programming of embedded systems, specifically created to accompany an earlier e-book Programming Embedded Systems (PES) by Vahid/Givargis/Miller, which has now become the PES zyBook. The tools include:

RIMS (RI Microcontroller Simulator): A single easy-to-use graphical environment for writing, compiling, executing, and debugging C code for the RI (virtual) microcontroller.
RIBS (RI Builder of State machines): A tool for graphical capture of synchronous state machines (synchSMs), automatic generation of C code, and simulation in concert with RIMS.
RITS (RI Timing-diagram Solution): A tool for displaying and saving timing diagrams generated by RIMS.

A time-limited license is required to run the tools, provided in the About page in a PES zyBook.

See also the RIOS scheduler: Free downloadable C code for scheduling tasks on a microcontroller.
