Hi, I am new to opencore and I have installed or1ksim using the VirtualBox image by opencores. After I get the xterm windows, i dunno how can i get started? i mean how to use or1ksim? I have look through the user guide and the embecosm websitw but I am too new of linux, I am not quite understand how does it work. Is there any tutorial for or1ksim's newbie? like step by step? I would like to use OpenRISC1200 and write a C program into MEM, compile and do simulation. Therefore I think I need to use OR1kSIM, GNU Toolchain and ORPSOC.
But for the beginning, I wanna run through some tutorial first and understand how does it work. I have tried to google some tutorial for OR1KSIM, but the result are all about the installation.

Could anyone give me a hand for my problem? And I am really sorry about keep asking those newbie questions
Dan

ps: I guess the OpenRISC Ubuntu VirtualBox image is using OR1KSIM-0.5.0rc2?Since it reach at 2011-11-28

Dan,

So... First... A lack of *nix background is going to continue to be an issue... I'd suggest taking care of that first... There are lots of online resources easily found for this... I think there are even a few O'Reilly books released into the public domain at this point... Unless you're on some kind of schedule, I'd take care of this first... You'll find life much less frustrating...

Second...

Tutorials...

Hello Sven,

My name is Cleber. I am a researcher at the Brazilian Federal Institute of Metrology. We are starting a new field of research on microprocessors, and I just bought the FPGA Development Board from OpenCores with the OpenRISC processor SoC design embedded. I am trying to compile a assembler file to run on the board. I compiled some C files and run them without any problems using:
or32-elf-gcc �mboard=ordb2a cfile.c �o cfile_hw
I, of course, tried something like this for asm files:
or32-elf-as �mboard=ordb2a cfile.c �o cfile_hw
But it didn´t work. Do you know how I can compile asm files for the board? And where I can maybe find some nice examples on a tutorial format? Do you approach the subject in your blog? The other guys on the thread are also welcome with any sugestions, of course, and any help would be appreciated! As I am also new to the subject could we maybe exchange ideas by direct mail? Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Cleber Gomes.

sorry :-)
