Hi,
my name is David and I'm working for a company that produces medical devices. We
are evaluating tools that we could use for a low level simulation of those
devices. With low level I mean the hardware level. We have several subsystems
that run on mc68hc11 processors. I'd like to take a deeper look into the xmame
code (our preferred platform is linux at the moment) to see if it is possible
to run the subsystem Rom's on an emulated mc86hc11 together with a simulation
that represents the real world. (like visual pinball is for pinmame).
I have a few questions to start with:
1. where do I get the latest code of the xmame project? cvs? the link on the
homepage was dead.
Xmame uses mess' CVS, which you can find on www.mess.org on the download
page .
2. what is the delay between mame and xmame development?
Not very much xmame tracks mame pretty close.
3. what visualization methods are supported with xmame?
Quite a few:
X11 - plain
Xv
OpenGL
DGA
svgalib
SDL
Glide
4. How hard is it to write a new cpu-emulation to be used with xmame?
5. are there examples of simulated parts that use serial communication?
I dunno
Maybe some of the above questions sound a bit weird but I would be glad to
hearfrom you.
I know you said you prefer Linux and I'm a big Linux fan myself, but I
know of a product for windows which might suit your needs better its
called thrsim. It's a mc68hc11 ide with full source-level debugging
support for asm and C (using gcc as a backend) and it includes an
excellent extensible simulator. I know the author of this sw, he works
at the same university at I do, we are both teachers there in Computer
Science. I can put you in contact with him if you're interested.
Regards,
Hans
