Simulator for PIC18F87J60 (PIC18F97J60) #107

Hello,

I would like to suggest that it might be useful to simulate a PIC18F87J60 version.

The PIC18F87J60 (and others perhaps) has a very low cell endurance (100-1k) and could be a major concern for firmware development on this IC.

Note 2: Before seeing the new PICSimLab update with greater support for other uC, STM32, ESP32, W5500, and also for Linux (which interested me more), I already suggested that Wowki add the PIC18F87J60, but they have no knowledge of PIC, and are focused on making a profit before making samples available.

Hi @rtek1000 ,

Technically adding the PIC18F87J60 to PICSimLab is not very complicated and I can implement it. But implementing the ethernet controller would require more time, which I currently don't have available.

PICSimLab is my hobby, Wokwi is Uri's source of income. If Wokwi were open source it would be easier to collaborate directly, but I understand Uri's position.

I have added the PIC18F67J60 (low-pin version of PIC18F87J60 ) in the last build version, without ethernet support for now.
