1.1 Overview

The simulator is a debugging tool made to behave similarly to any other debugging tool. It can be selected on the same list as the other tools, and it can be used immediately since it does not need any hardware connections. When a debug session is started, the simulator loads a simulator model of the selected device.

The performance of the simulator model is slow compared to a real device, but because it is made of software it gives the user some extra debugging possibilities that are not available with a real device.
