I was wondering, are there any good system C models which can be used as test cases to develop a system C kernel against? Ideally it would be something simple that just exercised the various facilities models expect without the added complexity of actually modeling anything. That might be a good way to start making some progress with this without having to get really deep into the spec, etc.
