              Or1ksim: The OpenRISC 1000 Architectural Simulator

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

5 420 jeremybenn
New in top of tree
6
==================
7
 
8
New features (shouldn't be there during a release cycle, but prompted by debug
9
needs elsewhere in the tool chain).
10
 
11
New option --trace provides a one line dump of instruction executed and any
12
register or memory location changed after each instruction.
13
 
14 432 jeremybenn
A new configuration option "use_nmi" is added to the programmable interrupt
15
controller (PIC). This causes interrupt lines 0 and 1 to be non-maskable, but
16
only in the sense that the corresponding bits in PICMR are hard-wired to 1.
17
 
18 420 jeremybenn
New config setting for memory initialization "exitnops" fills memory with
19
"l.nop 1", which will cause the simulator to exit. Good for tracking pointer
20
corruption.
21

42 346 jeremybenn
New in release 0.5.0rc1
43
=======================
44 143 jeremybenn
 
45 346 jeremybenn
The floating point implementation is now based on John Hauser's "softfloat"
46
package, ensuring rigorous compliance with the IEEE 754-2008 standard.
47
 
48 143 jeremybenn
The library interface is extended to allow registers and memory to be written
49 346 jeremybenn
directly and processor stalled and unstalled. This is to allow direct
50
integration as a simulator in GDB.
51 143 jeremybenn
 
52 346 jeremybenn
Some of the existing library interface functions have different prototypes.
53
 
54 224 jeremybenn
The "include" feature of configuration files (which never worked, but no one
55
ever noticed) is dropped.
56
 
57
If the configuration file is not found in the local directory, it is searched
58
for in the ${HOME}/.or1ksim directory, then (for backwards compatibility) the
59
${HOME}/.or1k directory.
60
 
61 346 jeremybenn
If no simulation file is specified, then sim.cfg is not searched for as a
62
default.
63 224 jeremybenn
 
64 346 jeremybenn
New options are added -q|--quiet, -V|--verbose, -m|--memory and
65
--report-memory-errors. The semantics of --nosrv and --src otpions are changed.
66 224 jeremybenn
 
67 346 jeremybenn
There is a configuration option to collect statistics on instruction execution
68
in binary form.
69
 
70
In previous versions, Bus exceptions were unique in that they produced an
71
error message on standard output. The default is now for this exception to be
72
handled silently, unless requested by --report-memory-errors.
73
 
74
The following feature requests have been accepted.
75
* Feature  393: Integrate Or1ksim in GDB.
76
 
77 143 jeremybenn
The following bugs are fixed.
78 346 jeremybenn
* Bug 1821: Reference configuration file has defective debug section.
79
* Bug 1817: Reference configuration file missing from distribution.
80
* Bug 1795: GDB breakpoints do not work with the instruction cache.
81 143 jeremybenn
 
82 346 jeremybenn
The following bugs are either cannot be reproduced or will not be fixed.
83
 
84
The following bugs are outstanding
85
* Bug 1824: Memory controller issue (probably the same as Bug 1758).
86
* Bug 1823: Configuration file error line numbers are wrong.
87
* Bug 1822: ATA section in configuration file is broken.
88
* Bug 1816: Error message when target not set is obscure.
89
* Bug 1813: "make check" fails before installation.
90
* Bug 1758: Memory controller issues. Workaround in the user guide.
