              Or1ksim: The OpenRISC 1000 Architectural Simulator

              ==================================================

New in top of tree

==================

The library interface is extended to allow registers and memory to be written

directly. This is to allow direct integration as a simulator in GDB.

The "include" feature of configuration files (which never worked, but no one

ever noticed) is dropped.

If the configuration file is not found in the local directory, it is searched

for in the ${HOME}/.or1ksim directory, then (for backwards compatibility) the

${HOME}/.or1k directory.

There is an option to collect statistics on instruction execution in binary

form.

The following bugs are fixed.

* Bug 1797: Or1ksim does not compile with GCC 3.4.4 under Cygwin

* Bug 1795: GDB breakpoints do not work with Icache enabled.

New in release 0.4.0

====================

No new features or bugs. This is the full release based on 0.4.0rc2.

New in release 0.4.0rc2

=======================

No new features are provided, pending full release of 0.4.0.

The configuration options --enable-arith-flag and --enable-ov-flag have been

removed, since they were the source of bugs, notably Bugs 1782, 1783 and 1784.

The configuration option --enable-unsigned-xori has been added to allow a

conditional solution to Bug 1790.

The following bugs are fixed.

* Bug 1770: l.div does not set carry or give correct exception.

* Bug 1771: l.add* do not correctly set the overflow flag.

* Bug 1772: l.fl1 not implemented.

* Bug 1773: l.maci not correctly implemented.

* Bug 1774: l.mulu not implemented.

* Bug 1775: l.jalr and l.jr don't trigger alignment exceptions.

* Bug 1776: l.addic is not implemented.

* Bug 1777: l.macrc not correctly implemented.

* Bug 1778: l.ror and l.rori are not implemented.

* Bug 1779: l.mtspr implementation is incorrect.

* Bug 1782: Or1ksim setting of overflow flag is wrong.

* Bug 1783: Or1ksim definition of overflow is wrong.

* Bug 1784: Or1ksim does not trigger overflow exceptions.

* Bug 1790: l.xori implementation is incorrect.

The following bugs are either cannot be reproduced or will not be fixed.

The following bugs are outstanding

* Bug 1758: Memory controller issues. Workaround in the user guide.

New in release 0.4.0rc1

=======================

The following new features are provided.

* testbench now renamed testsuite and fully integrated using DejaGNU.

  "make check" now works correctly if the OpenRISC toolchain is installed.

* New configuration flag --enable-all-tests to enable building of incomplete

  tests with "make check".

* The library offers an interface via modelled JTAG

* Single precision floating point is available.

The user guide is updated.

The following feature requests have been accepted.

* Feature  413: ORFPX32 single precision floating point now supported.

* Feature  469: Icache tags now intialized as invalid.

* Feature 1673: Or1ksim now builds on Mac OS X.

* Feature 1678: download, patch and build dirs removed from SVN.

The following feature requests have been rejected.

* Feature  399: Writeable SR_LEE bit will not be provided.

* Feature  409: Separate ELF loader library already exists in binutils.

* Feature  586: Ignoring HW breakpoints is already possible.

The following bugs are fixed.

* Bug  534: Test suite fixed (see above).

* Bug 1710: mprofile now handles mode args correctly.

* Bug 1723: PS2 keyboard error message clearer if RX file won't open.

* Bug 1733: Or1ksim now accepts ELF image when working through RSP.

* Bug 1767: l.lws is not recognized as an opcode.

The following bugs are either cannot be reproduced or will not be fixed.

The following bugs are outstanding

* Bug 1758: Memory controller issues. Workaround in the user guide.
