What is Sim8085?

Sim8085 is a powerful graphical simulator, assembler, and debugger specifically designed for the Intel 8085 microprocessor. It serves as an educational tool for students, hobbyists, and developers who want to learn and experiment with assembly language programming. By providing an intuitive interface and a variety of features, Sim8085 simplifies the process of writing, debugging, and executing assembly programs.

Key Features

Graphical User Interface: Sim8085 offers a user-friendly graphical interface that makes it easy to navigate through different components and functionalities. This interface is particularly helpful for beginners who are just getting started with microprocessor programming.
Syntax Highlighting Editor: The built-in editor supports syntax highlighting for assembly language, allowing users to write code more efficiently while reducing the likelihood of errors.
Memory and I/O Visualization: Users can view registers, flags, memory, and I/O ports, which helps in understanding how the 8085 microprocessor manages data and executes instructions.
Debugging Support: With features like breakpoints and stepwise program execution, Sim8085 provides essential tools for debugging assembly code. This allows users to run their programs incrementally and inspect the state of the system at each step.
Opcode Conversion: Users can convert their assembly programs into opcode listings with just one click, simplifying the process of preparing programs for execution on the actual hardware.

Acknowlegements

Sim8085 is built with Emscripten, Peggy, CodeMirror, Astro, and SolidJS. A lot of inspiration has been drawn from GNUSim8085 and FRISCjs.
