Proteus is simulation and PCB designing software. Many times we need to simulate different circuits before we actually develop it, This tutorial shows how to add library in Proteus 7 and Proteus 8.
Proteus VSM for ARM Cortex-M3 Summary Proteus Virtual System Modelling (VSM) combines mixed mode SPICE circuit simulation, animated components and microprocessor models to facilitate co-simulation of complete microcontroller based designs.The 'Proteus VSM for ARM® Cortex™-M3' product includes the following main software modules.
Following are the simple steps to add Library in Proteus
Step 1: Download Proteus library zip file example ARDUINO Proteus library
- Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have seen the LCP chips on Proteus but I want to simulate ATMel ARM chips. So is there no way or any lib files? Or is there any other simulator like Proteus where I can simulate ATMel ARM chip by connecting with real RS232 device using COM PORT?
- The ARM library is sold separately by the company that sells proteus, i don't know of another ARM library that is free.
Proteus 8 Professional Library
Step 2: Unzip library folder. You will see two files names as *.IDX and *.LIB in some cases third file is *.HEX.
In our example it is ARDUINO.IDX and ARDUINO.LIB
Step 3: Copy and paste these files in LIBRARY folder of Proteus
If you are using Proteus 7 Professional, then the library folder link will be something like this: “C:Program Files (x86)Labcenter ElectronicsProteus 7 ProfessionalLIBRARY“
If you are using Proteus 8 Professional, then the library folder link will be something like this: “C:Program FilesLabcenter ElectronicsProteus 8 ProfessionalDataLIBRARY”

Step 4: Close Proteus Software and reopen it to check it. That’s all.
You can find that adding library to Proteus, Arduino, Eagle is same just copy and paste the library files at proper location.
