STM32 Simulator

Hi,  someone correct me if am wrong, but am not able to find any simulation software for STM32.
dev board are cheap so not having a simulator it's not a major problem. but it can be better with one.

Almost any proper development IDE can simulate those. Keil for example.

What does it mean "stm32 simulation software"? You want to simulate ST's add-ons, like RF frontend, SDRAM bus timings, BLDC controllers, Op-amps, etc?

For the most basic part, a simulator capable of simulating just stm peripheral (timers, usart, gpio, interrupts , etc ... ) and if can do more than that (proteus like one ) capable of connecting the MCU to other chips and more why not. but am just looking for something with what i can check if signals, peripheral are running correctly without using real hardware.

As I've said - try Keil.

But I do not recommend doing so. Those ARM MCUs are very complex devices and very easily the simulation can be wrong or not accurate. Running the real HW should always be better. Yet to consider many different silicon revisions and bugs. The simulation can easily become missleading.

Thanks for the advice, am aware of sim limitation but it can make things faster. most of the time i need that to test some small functionality without wasting to much time on it and then i use the real board to test the whole thing. So i think i will give keil a try since i don't much code space i presume the free version will suffice.

Why not run on a board? STM32 boards are so cheap that it costs next to nothing.
A core module (carrier board) with UART downloading can run about $5.

i do that at work, i have all STM eval board so i test code on those board. am just looking for something with what i can test code without being in the lab

I always have an Analog Discovery and some board I'm working on in my laptop bag.

yeah i do that what i really have to work on something, not my favorite thing to do really

This look promising:
