Terminology of
Emulator
and
Simulator
;
The
Emulator
described in this reference manual is a software application that behaves in a very
similar way to the actual device by imitating individual hardware components or protocols present in
the actual hardware.
On the other hand, the
Simulator
is also a software application that logically integrates application
programming interfaces ("API") and certain other functions to allow debugging of the application
program using external events. The
Emulator
performs in a pseudo CPU and hardware
environment and it is impossible for the application to recognize whether it is in the actual device
environment or pseudo environment. However, actions carried out by the
Simulator
are not as
alike to those performed by actual components but merely mimic them very closely.
