“…To achieve this necessity, the virtual simulators of didactical systems were designed. They not only gave almost unlimited access time for practice with the modules but also were indispensable in the time of remote classes during the COVID-19 pandemic [33][34][35]. The microprocessor systems are programmed with high-level languages (C and C++) and also with the use of an assembler.…”

The application of the proposed Simulation Oriented Layer in the embedded-software architecture is shown in this paper. The SOL’s purpose is to deliver only limited and highly desirable microprocessor-system functionality to the Application Layer, which would be implemented in a virtual simulator without requiring its complex development. It was used in two virtual simulators of embedded systems, as presented in the article. Each virtual simulator covers one customized embedded system (RPILAB and TMSLAB) used for didactical purposes. On each embedded platform, a different method of system-functionality simulation was shown. Presented virtual simulators can run recompiled (for the virtual-simulator platform) programs in a seamless process, giving real-like experiences for programmers, who can verify and test their high-level solutions. Being accurately chosen, taken for the simulation because of essential and limited functionality, and used in the Application Layer allowed for the rapid design of the virtual simulators. Unit- and functional-test results using RPILAB- and TMSLAB-embedded systems and their virtual simulators are shown in this paper. Both simulators of real RPILAB and TMSLAB platforms are used with success in the didactical process, at the Institute of Automatic Control in Lodz University of Technology, since the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Software modeling for embedded systems using such virtual platforms can reduce the time to market and allow for performing extensive unit tests [31] that could be troublesome in real-device [32] design. For didactic purposes in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, such virtual platforms are invaluable at any teaching level [33][34][35].…”

“…The described solutions help to develop a microprocessor system embedded software quickly and efficiently. This is even more important these days, when remote work, without access to physical devices, is more than common due to the COVID 19 pandemic [6,7]. According to [8], more than 850 million of children and young people were being kept away from schools and universities, with national closures active in 102 countries and local closures in 11 others.…”

A method of precise and real-like embedded systems peripherals visualization in virtual simulations is presented in the article. For high frequency peripheral inputs, blended graphics of real-look representations of peripherals are used, allowing for an accurate visualization with consideration of their input signal nature based on PWM and multiplexing schemes. An accurate simulator of a didactic embedded system called MKD-51 is introduced as a plug in for Keil μVision IDE. A comparison with a real microprocessor system using multiplexing seven-segment LED modules as well as LED bar fed by PWM is shown. The achieved quantity results are included to illustrate compliance with real devices and improvements in visualization accuracy due to applying additional blending mapping function. Brightness estimation differences of LED visualization compared to a real device are at a single percentage level for seven-segment multiplexed modules.

“…En (Mohammed, et al, 2020) los autores proponen el uso del servicio VNC (Lab, 1998) para ofrecer a los estudiantes el acceso remoto a equipos ubicados en las universidades y poder realizar medición de cargas eléctricas a través de LabView y unidades de medición conectadas a ellos. También se ha reportado el uso de recursos simulados de acceso remoto para el desarrollo de actividades de experimentación; por ejemplo, en (Khant, et al, 2021) los autores presentan el uso de la herramienta web Tinkercad para la enseñanza de los sistemas embebidos en tiempos de pandemia; en (Delgado, et al, 2020) los autores presentan el uso de las herramientas Tinkercad, FluidSIM, Factory I/O y Overleaf para el desarrollo de prácticas de laboratorio en cursos de mecatrónica; en (Canesche, et al, 2021) los autores presentan el uso de la herramienta Google Colab junto con varias extensiones para el desarrollo de prácticas de diseño digital y lenguajes de descripción de hardware lo que muestra el uso de herramientas de acceso remoto para el desarrollo de actividades prácticas en ingeniería.…”

El aislamiento obligatorio decretado por el gobierno a inicios del 2020, debido al covid-19, hizo que las universidades dieran paso a estrategias de formación remotas asistidas por tecnología. Las actividades prácticas en los cursos de ingeniería se vieron afectadas por la imposibilidad de acceder a los laboratorios en las universidades imponiendo la necesidad de nuevas formas de hacer experimentación. Este artículo presenta el desarrollo de cuatro recursos remotos, propuestos por el área de automática de la Universidad del Valle, para llevar a cabo actividades de experimentación de sistemas de control en tiempos de pandemia. Los recursos hacen uso de distintas herramientas, entre ellas Matlab y las minicomputadoras Raspberry Pi, para la generación de un ambiente de simulación de procesos que puede ser accedido a través de internet. Estos recursos se usaron en tres cursos de sistemas de control para estudiantes de Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica de la Universidad del Valle con un recibimiento preliminar aceptable.
