This style of simulation is of course useful. Steve W. and I have both done similar work. I focus more on the driver source code than on emulating the environment at the binary level. I build the code with read_reg() and write_reg() macros/functions changed from the ordinary pointer dereference (OK, so this isn't an '86) to a message passing interface to the Icarus Verilog simulator. The driver C source code has to be portable, and run either on your workstation (for simulations) and the embedded computer (attached to the real hardware). Steve and I both have code out there. Tell me if you want me to mumble more about it, and where to get it. - Larry _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
