Hello everyone,
I've measured running time for a program in AVR Studio and also in MICAz
sensor node.
MICAz is featured w/ the ATmega128 microcontroler. However, the results
I've got don't match. In reality, the results in the simulator were much
faster. I know that when loading software on nodes other software is
also loaded ( e.g. TinyOS). But, at least, they are not supposed to
interfere that much in the performance. Besides, the results I've got in
the simulator are twice as fast.
So my questions are
1) Is AVR Studio an accurate simulator?
2) I also have the STK300 AVR JTAG ICE. If I run the same program using
both the board and the AVR Studio (by means of the JTAG), will the clock
cycles exhibit in the simulator be taken from the real board? Or will
they be the same of running the simulator alone?
Anyway, I'm newbie concerning AVR platforms and I'd like to know how
performance numbers are usually measured in those devices. Any help
would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
