Hi Sebastian,

there are 2 possible solutions - of course quick fixes, but with valid methods.

One is not to call sim.dmanSingleDeviceApplication(). This is at least just a switch for the DumpManager instance. (which is a singleton) The other solution is to call:

pysimulavr.DumpManager.Instance().Reset()

immediately before you delete device.

A real fix would of course unregister device, if device have to be deleted. This will be done later.

cu, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

thanks for your advice! I already tested this solution but got the same result:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
import ex_utils
import time

mcu = "atmega2560"
freq = 8000000

# Test 1
print "First Run"
sim = ex_utils.SimulavrAdapter()
sim.dmanSingleDeviceApplication()
dev = sim.loadDevice(mcu, "blinking_LED_1.elf")
sim.doRun(10000)

del dev
del sim

# Test 2
print "Second Run"
sim = ex_utils.SimulavrAdapter()
print "Program crashes here"
sim.dmanSingleDeviceApplication()
print "... and not here"
dev = sim.loadDevice(mcu, "blinking_LED_2.elf")
sim.doRun(10000)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

▶ python evaluationFailure.py
First Run
0
Second Run
Program crashes here

FATAL: file traceval.cpp: line 615: method SetSingleDeviceApp must be called before devices are added to DumpManager

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Obviously, it is not enough to delete the two variables? I already included a
general delete for all variables ... but no sucess ;-(

Any ideas?

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

your code has some misunderstandings, I believe.

At first: ResetClock() does just reset the time control system, this isn't a real core reset! If you want to rerun a program a second time then it's better to reset the device and load the possibly different code again and start again.

In your code (if this is, what you want to do) it would be better to delete the entire simulation and set it up again. Background for the exception in your code is, that if you create a device, it registers itself on a trace system (for debugging output, vcd-Output and such) and on 4th code line you've declared the simulation as single device application - just one core in simulation. And on the 12th line you create again a core without deleting the old core before! This ends in a exception.

So, (best solution!) delete sim (means "del sim"! The garbage collector could do this to late) for the second run and repeat 3th and 4th line (create sim and set into single core mode) before loadDevice()

or:

Delete dev (e.g. "del dev") for the second run before loadDevice() call.

But ... maybe it's the best to describe, what you want to get. Your example is a little bit to minimalistic. :-)

Best regards, Thomas

Hi everyone,

thanks for providing simulavr with a Python interface, I would like to use the simulator to evaluate automatically AVR code of my students. Hence, I have a number of elf files and it was my intention to run a script loading one by one and execute some tests. But I failed to reset the simulator and the virtual controller ...

To condense my problem I prepared the following code snippet that should run and
rerun an elf file. For reseting the simulation I added a method

  def ResetSystem(self):
     self.__sc.ResetClock()

in ex_utils.py. When I excute the script

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

import ex_utils

mcu = "atmega32"

sim = ex_utils.SimulavrAdapter()
sim.dmanSingleDeviceApplication()

# Test 1
print "First Run"
dev = sim.loadDevice(mcu, "blinking_LED.elf")
sim.doRun(10000) # Execute an exemplary simulation
sim.ResetSystem() # Reset the simulation system

# Test 2
print "Second Run"
dev = sim.loadDevice(mcu, "blinking_LED.elf")
sim.doRun(10000) # Execute an examplary simulation

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I got
▶ python evaluationFailure.py
First Run
Second Run

FATAL: file traceval.cpp: line 567: Can't create device name twice, because it's a single device application

What's happened? The syncMembers vector should be empty? Why do we have a
conflict here?

Thanks for your help

Sebastian
