GNUSim8085 is a free (and therefore also available for free) and award-winning, graphical CPU simulator , with integrated assembler and debugger for the Intel 8085 microprocessor for Windows and GNU / Linux operating systems, which is developed and sold under the GNU GPL .
The simulator uses the GTK + toolkit to generate a platform-independent graphical user interface .
history
GNUSim8085 arose from the needs of an Indian computer science student named Sridhar Ratnakumar: As part of his studies, he needed access to a free and free 8085 simulator to prepare for exams, which should also run and expand on Linux-based computers.
In the absence of options, Sridhar Ratnakumar decided in 2003 to take the implementation of such a simulator into his own hands and created his first open source project with GNUSim8085 in the same year. A first prototype was completed by Ratnakumar within just three days and used immediately to prepare for the tests that originally motivated him to develop the simulator.
The simulator was originally developed on the SourceForge web portal , where the source code of the program is accessible via the version management software Git . However, the project is now officially hosted on Launchpad .
Since the beginning of the project in 2003, but also increasingly since the porting of the simulator to the Windows platform in 2008, GNUSim8085 has enjoyed a steadily increasing number of users and supporters, especially among students of computer science and engineering courses.
While GNUSim8085 was originally designed and developed solely by Sridhar Ratnakumar, an active following of users has now formed, so that the project is currently being further developed by a four-person team of developers, with developers Aanjhan Ranganathan and Onkar Shinde taking over the project management of Ratnakumar to have.
