LED LED objects are external hardware mimics. A LED object changes colour when a logic 0, 1 or high impedance is applied to it. LEDs are normally connected (via WIRE objects) to the OUTPUT objects of a CPU or the XPUT objects of some other object such as an I2C object. During the interactive design debug phase, when the simulated CPU writes to an I/O port that is connected to a LED object, the LED object will change colour to show the value of the signal sent to it. red indicates 0 green indicates 1 orange indicates high inpedance The colour actually shown will depend on the value of all inputs to the LED object. If only one output is connected to a LED object and that OUTPUT object changes to an INPUT object, the LED object will receive a high impedance signal which will cause it to change colour to ORANGE. LED objects are NOT dependent on a running simulator. They are also useful when constructing a hardware console to drive embedded systems. In this case the LED acts as an interactive mimic for a fully functional target system. Code Generation The LED object has no user accessable code generation properties associated with it. No code is generated for it. It is only used as a hardware mimic. Adding LED objects to a design Normally the LED object is copied from the template window to the drawing window or from an existing LED object already on the drawing window.
