3 Using the Emulator

The AMS Tab

The first tab in the emulator, the AMS tab, displays which Oracle Java ME SDK applications are installed, including those that are currently running or stopped.

You can use the buttons in the AMS tab, as shown in Figure 3-3, to do the following:

• Install or update additional applications

• Obtain information about a currently-selected application

• Start, Stop, or Suspend an application

• Remove (uninstall) an application from the AMS

The GPIO Pins Tab

The GPIO tab lists the emulator's current General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins and their directional state (output). For GPIO pins, the current value is shown as low or high. The GPIO Pins tab is shown in Figure 3-4:

The GPIO Ports Tab

For GPIO ports, the port ID and port Name is shown, along with the port's Maximum Value and current Value., as shown in Figure 3-5.

The I2C Tab

The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) tab emulates a simple peripheral slave device that echoes back any data that is sent to it. Both the sent and received data are shown in their appropriate window panes, as shown in Figure 3-6:

The SPI Tab

The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) tab is similar to the I2C tab. It emulates a simple peripheral slave device that echoes back any data that is sent to it. Both the sent and received data are shown in their appropriate tabs, as shown in Figure 3-7:

The MMIO Tab

The MMIO tab emulates the Memory-Mapped I/O (MMIO) interface bus. The MMIO interface creates four separate devices that can be used for testing: TEST_DEVICE, WDOGLOG, RTC, and BIG_ENDIAN_DEVICE. Each type of device displays its appropriate block configuration in an information table, as shown in Figure 3-8:

The ADC Tab

The Audio-to-Digital Converter (ADC) tab displays current Channel information, such as ID, Converter Number, Minimum and Maximum Values, and Sampling Intervals, as shown in Figure 3-9.

The DAC Tab

The Digital-to-Audio Converter (DAC) tab displays current Channel information, such as Minimum and Maximum Values, Sampling Interval, and Reference Voltage, as shown in Figure 3-10.

The Pulse Counters Tab

The Pulse Counters tab allows you to send pulse information to as many as four counters. as shown in Figure 3-11. There are four kinds of pulses:

• Falling Pulse Edge - Can only be bound to input pins with the Falling Edge trigger.

• Rising Pulse Edge - Can only be bound to input pins with the Rising Edge trigger.

• Negative Pulse Edge - Can only be bound to input pins with the Both Edges trigger.

• Positive Pulse Edge - Can only be bound to input pins with the Both Edges trigger.

The ADC Tab

The Audio-to-Digital Converter (ADC) tab allows you to test audio input, as shown in Figure 3-12, including Channel, DAC Input, and minimum and maximum values.

The Access Points Tab

The Access Points tab allows the user to configure the settings returned by various methods of the Access Point API, including Wi-Fi and carrier networks, as shown in Figure 3-13.

The GPIO Tab

To generate input events for General Purpose I/O (GPIO), select the GPIO menu item under the Device menu. This action raises the External Events Generator window. Here, you can toggle the value of each of the pins from high to low and vice versa, and use a wave generator to simulate a more complex signal to the emulator. The GPIO External Events Generator is shown in Figure 3-14.

The Location Tab

The Location tab allows the device to specify the simulated Location Provider, Orientation, and other settings, such as Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Speed, and Course, as shown in Figure 3-15.

The MMIO Tab

The MMIO tab of the External Events Generator allows the user to simulate sending input event IDs to one of the four different peripheral device types. This tab is shown in Figure 3-16.

The Pulse Counter Tab

The Pulse Counter tab allows you to send a a sequence of pulses to as many as four pulse counters, as shown in Figure 3-17.
