The github master branch code should now work under termux on Android for at
least Marshmallow on up. I have tested Marshmallow and Oreo. I would
appreciate confirmation on other Android versions:
1) Install termux from the Google Play Store
2) Under termux, Install the tool chain:
$ pkg install clang make git
3) Testing with:
$ git clone https://github.com/simh/simh
$ cd simh
$ make vax
$ BIN/vax
sim> B
If you end up at the >>> prompt everything looks good. If you did this without
a physical keyboard connected, you won’t be able to type Control-E to get back
to the sim> prompt. Just enter B ZZZ which is an unknown device and the boot
ROM will halt returning you to the sim> prompt.
Once you get that far, all the other simulators should build fine and be usable
pretty much like on most other Linux environments. Things which require root
access won’t work since termux doesn’t give you that. It would be interesting
to know if NAT mode networking works for the VAX simulators…

Hi Ray,
Give the latest github code a try.
BTW, what Android version is running on your phone/tablet?
What is the output of ‘uname –a’ in your termux session?
- Mark

To follow up a little more on this.
The call to tcsetattr() is failing with errno: 13 – Permission denied

I did a little digging and struggled with typing a whole bunch on my
phone.
The problem you’re seeing is due to the Linux OS environment you’re
running under doesn’t support ‘raw’ mode for terminal I/O. When you
start a simulator the traffic to/from the simulated console device is
expected to be exactly the characters that the user types on the console
keyboard. To achieve this, the current tt mode is gathered with tcgetattr()
then those attributes are adjusted so that every character typed is received
without any interpretation by the OS and output is also not translated (i.e.
\n only sends a LF character instead of CRLF characters). The error message,
you seeing is due to the call a tcsetattr() failing.

If you’re not comfortable digging into this yourself, then please create an
Issue at https://github.com/simh/simh/issues and spell out exactly how to
recreate your setup and reproduce the problem.

Greetings
I have been trying forever to get simh to run under the Termux Android shell
app and got very close but no cigar. It builds okay but then when I try running
it, it starts fine but when I go to run an OS, I get this:
PDP-11 simulator V4.0-0 Current git commit id: f2f4bfa8
sim> do rt1154f.ini
Disabling XQ
rt1154f.ini-3> b rk0
sim_ttrun() returned: Console input I/O error
sim>
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ray
