GXemul is an experimental instruction-level machine emulator. It can be used to |
11 |
|
|
run binary code for MIPS-based machines, regardless of host platform. Several |
12 |
|
|
emulation modes are available. For some modes, processors and surrounding |
13 |
|
|
hardware components are emulated well enough to let unmodified operating |
14 |
|
|
systems (e.g. NetBSD) run as if they were running on a real machine. |

(Non-MIPS emulation modes are also under development, but so far none of those |
17 |
|
|
modes has reached the completeness required to run unmodified operating |
18 |
|
|
systems.) |

To compile, type './configure' and then 'make'. This should work on most |
25 |
|
|
Unix-like systems. If not, then please mail me a bug report. |

If you are impatient, and want to try out running a guest operating system |
28 |
|
|
inside GXemul, please read this: doc/guestoses.html#netbsdinstall |

If you want to use GXemul for experimenting with code of your own, |
31 |
|
|
then I suggest you compile a Hello World program according to the tips |
32 |
|
|
listed here: doc/experiments.html#hello |

35 |
|
|
more detailed information on how to use the emulator. |
