PLLR is not set in Simulator

MPLAB IDE v5.05
MCC v3.65.1
XC8 v2.00
PIC16F1619
 
I'm trying to run simulator with PIC16F1619. When I set the internal clock to PLL Enabled with 8 MHz in MCC, Simulator never goes through OSCILLATOR_Initialize because PLLR is never set as shown in the attachment. Actually, OSCSTAT seems always 0x00 in Simulator and this situation applies to some other PICs as far as I checked.
Am I misunderstanding something or is this a bug in Simulator? I may be able to comment out the PLLR check loop, but, I do not want to do that if anyone can give me a better solution.

    Things like the oscillator and PLL are generally not simulated since they have no effect on the simulation (check the "limitations" section of the documentation).  Make a "simulator" configuration in the project, and set a #define that lets you #ifdef out things that aren't supported.

    Hi jtemples,
     
    Thank you for the explanation and pointing me a direction. That seems making sense and is a great help to me.

    Using Stimulus may not be a bad solution.

    Simulator doesn't implement the oscillator.  Both because it's not really needed, and because it really seems like every single device has a different oscillator (and we'd spend all of our time implementing oscillators!)  :P

    And yes, you can use stimulus, or SCL, or simulator plug-ins to manually set PLLR.  It's basically impossible for the simulator to handle all the silicon functionality, so we make the simulator very extensible so that users can handle any special situations that their application code needs.

    Hi George,
     
    Thank you for the information. That made me feel comfortable as now I know I was not misunderstanding something and the tool was working as expected.
