[sdcc-devel] Cygwin and simulator serial redirection

[Steve K. <sk...@ou...>]

I have had some [limited] success using the serial redirection of the simulator
under Cygwin.  Load the simulator with no hex file but using a network console
and specify input and output separately to /dev/tty then detach with an &

Open another window and connect to the network console on 127.0.0.1 the loopback
address.  Load a hex file and start stepping etc.  You can then use the original
window as the serial console.  It tends to crash and burn a lot and I had no
luck at all if I loaded a hex file along the the initial simulator load or if I
used the combined in/out redirection.

Hope this helps
