ADuC Debug/Sim

Hi,

I'm programming an 8052 core (ADuC841) using the Aspire environment.

For some reason the ADuC debugger seems to crash whenever I start one of the timers, eg the T3 baud rate. Is this a common problem/limitation of the debugger? does anybody know a fix?

Also a more basic problem... is there a way to debug or simulate the code when using the UART? The debugger uses the UART to interface the program so obviously you cant directly communicate in debug mode. The simulator seems to take no UART inputs

Any help appreciated

Hey.
I actually had course + lab on this exact micro-processor.
I used Keil uVision3 to debug it.

I managed to communicate with the microprocessor through UART, both in debug mode and using hyper-terminal.
If you are not receiving any inputs, it could be that you didnt set the REN bit (Receive ENable).

I believe that Timer 1 (and SMOD bit - PCON.7) set the baud rate of the UART, not Timer 3, isn't it?
