Unit testing frameworks?

[Joel Parker-6]

Is anyone doing unit testing on PIC code? What frameworks are out there that are good?

I've seen this one through a quick Google search, but have no experience with it:

I am interested in using TDD, but haven't actually done it yet.

There was a thread here a long time ago, "[EE] Test driven design for
embedded applications" where Timothy J. Weber and I talked about one way it
could be done on a PIC.

Hi guys,

I am trying to repair some very old stuff in my house. One of them
requires this chip

1) LA 9135  9E2

Tried to find this on google but came out empty. Any clue of this ic?
Tried this http://www.alldatasheet.com/, at least 16F877 appears :)

Thanks,
John

matelectronics.com is one of the last places stocking original Japanese
semiconductors but they don't have that one either, they skip from
LA7953 to LA9200.

Cheerful regards,

Bob

HI Bob,

Thanks for the link. It is a good place to start my Jap. search....

Thanks,
John

I just can't imagine how this works.

At a quick glance it seems to be GCC oriented and not target-specific.
Hence it might be usable to check portable properties of C code, but not
for PIC specific aspects.

I have used such frameworks in the past for Unix work. It would be nice
to have something comparable for PIC work, but there are some problems:
- limited size of PIC memory
- communication of results to the PC
- how to test peripherals-specific code
- how to test interaction with external stuff (including humans)
