| SPARTAN kernel now features early IA-64 support. |
| To run SPARTAN on IA-64, you must use the |
| HP Ski simulator. It can be downloaded from here: |
| ia64 port |
| ========= |
| http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/ski/ |
| ia64 port is the third port of SPARTAN originally written by Jakub Jermar. |
| It is still in its early stages. It runs on HP Ski simulator of IA-64 architecture. |
| Use init skript like this to run the kernel: |
| HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS |
| o no real hardware supported |

| EMULATORS AND VIRTUALIZERS |
| o ski |
| load kernel.bin |
| load load.bin |

| COMPILER REQUIREMENTS |
| o IA-64 binutils 2.15 and gcc 4.0.0 cross compiler |
| o older versions may do as well, but are now obsoleted |

| ppc32 port |
| ========== |
| ppc32 port is the fourth port of SPARTAN, originally written by Martin Decky. |
| The goal is to support 32-bit PowerPC architecture. |
| So far, it runs only in emulator. |
| HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS |
| o no real hardware supported |
| EMULATORS AND VIRTUALIZERS |
| o PearPC |
| COMPILER REQUIREMENTS |
| o binutils 2.16 and gcc 4.0.1 |

| amd64 port |
| ========== |
| The fifth port, amd64 port, is heavily based on ia32 port. |
| It was originally written by Ondrej Palkovsky. |
| The goal is to support AMD64 or Intel Extended Memory PC's. |
| The new 64-bit code makes use of portable parts of ia32. |
| Both uniprocessors and multiprocessors are supported. |
| It has not been tested on real hardware, so far. |
| HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS |
| o no real hardware supported |
| SMP COMPATIBILITY |
| o Bochs 2.2.1 |
| o 2x-8x AMD64 CPU |
| o Simics Simics 2.2.19 |
| o 2x-8x AMD hammer CPU |

| SPARTAN kernel currently supports emulated MIPS R4000 32-bit |
| little-endian architecture. In other words, it can only run in MIPS |
| R4000 emulator called msim. This emulator is being developed by Viliam |
| Holub: |
| mips32 port |
| =========== |
| http://nenya.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~holub/msim |
| mips32 is the second port of SPARTAN kernel originally written by Jakub Jermar. |
| It was first developed to run on MIPS R4000 32-bit simulator. |
| Now it can run on real hardware as well. |
| It can be compiled and run either as little- or big-endian. |
| Note that msim diverges from real MIPS hardware in some aspects. |
| Therefore, some non-trivial changes will be necessary for a real |
| hardware port. The simulator is described in this manual: |
| HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS |
| o SGI Indy R4600 |
| o emulated MIPS 4K CPU |
| http://nenya.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~holub/msim/msim.ps |
| COMPILER REQUIREMENTS |
| o mips binutils 2.16 and gcc 4.0.1 cross compiler |
| o older versions may do as well, but are now obsoleted |
| EMULATORS AND VIRTUALIZERS |
| o msim 1.2.6 with lwl/lwr/swl/swr patch |
| o gxemul - both big and little endian |
| o simics 2.2.19 |

| ia32 port |
| ========= |
| ia32 port is the oldest and the most advanced one. |
| It was originally written by Jakub Jermar. |
| It is meant to support ordinary PC's based on IA-32 architecture. |
| Both uniprocessor and multiprocessor modes are supported. |
| It runs on both emulated environment and real hardware. |
| HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS |
| o IA-32 processor (Pentium and successors) |
| COMPILER REQUIREMENTS |
| o binutils 2.15 and gcc 3.3.5 |
| o binutils 2.16 and gcc 4.0.1 |
| o older versions may do as well, but are now obsoleted |
