erc32 is a bit misleading since sis also emulates leon2/3 and riscv. To keep the files together, I created the new directory sis. The old erc32 directory is no longer maintained. I don't think it will be possible to merge sis in the foreseeable future. The gdb maintainers prefer simulators that use the built-in sim engine (sim/common) and discourage custom sims like sis. I will maintain sis out-of-tree for some time and then maybe make it self-standing using the gdbserver interface. However, sis uses several binutils libraries (bfd, opcodes, readline) which makes it convenient to build it in the gdb tree. Having the simulator built-in to gdb is also convenient since we don't need to start a separate process and connect to some (hopefully) free port.... _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
