Status
Target can run linux on sim and lx60 boards with dc232b cpu in system emulation mode. Kernel may be loaded with -kernel option, or by u-boot from TFTP, rootfs may be in a filesystem image file for the sim board, or may be mounted via NFS for the lx60.
Target configured with custom cpu can run ThreadX RTOS.
Support for new cpu cores may be added with minimal amount of hand-written code by reusing architecture variant overlay.
TODO
- implement remaining hardware for the lx60 board (LEDs, DIP switches, LCD?, audio codec?);
- implement remaining core ISA options: coprocessors, floating point and cache;
- implement cycle-accurate simulation mode;
- implement ISA extensions like FLIX, wide branches or SIMD;
- implement interrupt distribution hardware for SMP configurations;
- implement user emulation mode;
