There is a GPL arm chip emulator, but I'm told that currently it doesn't
do the StrongARM instructions. [IIRC there's not that many new
instructions added for StrongARM, and not that many since ARM2]
Not that you really want to be running a virtual machine on a virtual
processor if speed is your goal.
(Certainly I seem to do OK only knowing ARM2 instructions well. And
I suspect personally I'd prefer to write in ARM assembler than C#)
