Thanks, definitely bookmarked for future reference. This would have saved me a day and half if I had read it last week! Subscribe to RSS By typing letters inside the screen, the terminal will display that letter uppercased by the program, and the exchanged data will be displayed in the socat log. The program will connect to the second pseudo-terminal and will communicate with the program through socat.

To connect with the simulator from the other side of the channel, open another shell terminal and run.

Open another shell terminal, and execute the serialtest program using the uCsim simulator. The following command creates two pseudo-terminals tty1 and tty2 in the current directory the terminals are connected with each other like a physical serial cable. Compile the C program into a Intel Hex file. Emulating serial communication with socat. We will create a system like the one in figure. The trick is to use socat to emulate a serial connection and uCsim to emulate an chip. In this case, I think it can be useful to emulate the connection without using a real chip and a physical cable this would speedup prototyping and development, while easing the debug phase. It is often necessary to communicate with the microcontroller through a serial port, with a program running on the and a program running on a computer. The Intel is a microcontroller architecture that has many applications from hobbyists to industry and many incarnations Atmel, Infineon, NXP, ….
