| 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 |
