67 The SDL Target Tester
The SDL Target Tester is a tool which can be used to find errors and illegal or unwanted behavior within a target system. It allows the programmer to follow and to reproduce the execution flow of the SDL system (running on the target) on the host.
The strength of the SDL Target Tester is the minimum amount of storage it occupies on the target. With the exception of certain traces, the SDL Target Tester's memory requirements do not increase proportionally with system size. That means, that the memory amount is a compiler specific constant. If the memory is scarce it is also possible to reduce the memory by reducing the functionality.
In order to use the SDL Target Tester, the system must be developed with the Cmicro SDL to C Compiler (see The Cmicro SDL to C Compiler) and the Cmicro Library (see The Cmicro Library).
The host and target systems can be connected by any type of communications link, as any kind of communications drivers can easily be connected to the SDL Target Tester system.
