Hi Pete,

Saw your post on the CGEN mailing list. It's not really what CGEN
simulators are intended for - they are CPU simulators. Mostly they
support the newlib tool chain using callbacks to the host system for
system call support.

Which doesn't mean it isn't an interesting exercise - I've never seen a
report of Linux running on a CGEN simulator.

If you want to model a whole system, you need Or1ksim for (or one of the
other system simulators like QEMU). We did the regression testing of the
or32-linux- toolchain using Or1ksim.

Best wishes,


Jeremy
