              Or1ksim: The OpenRISC 1000 Architectural Simulator
              ==================================================


What is this stuff?
===================

This is OpenRISC 1000 architectural simulator. See the file COPYING
for copying permission. To contact the authors, see the AUTHORS file.

This simulator loads an assembly file for one of the both architectures
and it simulates the operation of instructions.

SVN Repository status
=====================

Or1ksim is now part of the openrisc project SVN repository. This contains
Ork1sim from release 0.3.0 onwards. Earlier versions may be found in the
legacy or1k project 
repository.


Pre-requisites
==============

The GNU toolchain for OpenRISC 1000 is required to compile programs for use
with Or1ksim. Instructions how to build these GNU tools can be found on
www.opencores.org


Installation
============

See the file INSTALL for generic installation instructions. Full details are
in the user guide, which can be found in the 'doc' subdirectory.


GNU Tools
=========

Instructions how to build GNU tools can be found on www.opencores.org, or in
the Embecosm Application Note EAN2: "The OpenCores OpenRISC 1000 Simulator and
Tool Chain: Installation Guide" <www.embecosm.com/download/ean2.html>.


Simulator test
==============

Follow the instructions in testbench/README to test the simulator. Be warned
that these tests are very rudimentary in the current release.


Help
====

Run sim with --help option for list of command line options and help in
interactive mode, to list the commands.

A user guide may be found in the doc sub-directory.

If doxygen and dot are installed, structured documentation of the code base
may be obtained by running the command:

  doxygen doxygen.config

from the top level directory.


OpenRISC and OpenCores
======================

This project is licensed under the GNU Public License version 3. See the file
COPYING for details.

About the same idea as with GNU project except we want free and open source
IP (intellectual property) cores. We design open source, synthesizable
cores. OpenRISC is one such core. It is a 32-bit RISC microprocessor that
will run GNU/Linux.
