RI Tools for Programming Embedded Systems

Download

Description

The RI Tools support programming of embedded systems, specifically created to accompany the book Programming Embedded Systems by Vahid/Givargis, 2010. 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 license is required to run the tools, provided with purchase of the PES book. For e-book downloads, the license appears on the PES download page after purchase, and also in a confirmation sent to the purchaser's email address. For hardcopy purchases, request a license by emailing info@programmingembeddedsystems.com with proof-of-purchase. The tools run in Microsoft Windows.
