                              Or1ksim Test Suite
                              ==================

This is the Or1ksim test suite, which is now integrated with the main Or1ksim
development package. It operates using a standard DejaGNU framework within the
GNU autoconf/automake/libtool structure.

A separate configuration file is needed for the OpenRISC programs used in
testing, since these use the OR1K tool chain, rather than the host tool
chain. This can be found in the "test-code-or1k" directory.

Tests are provided for the standalone simulator (or1ksim) and for the library
(libsim.a).

At the time of writing a total of 2,447 tests compile, run and pass. That
figure is broken down into 2,185 tests of the standalone simulator and 262
tests of the library

Configuration and make files are provided for further test programs. These
come in three categories.
- Tests which compile correctly, but will not run to completion.
- Tests which compile, but will not run at all.
- Tests which will not compile correctly.

File Organization
=================

Each test program has its own directory under test-code (for native tests,
typically of the library) or test-code-or1k (for OpenRISC code, which must use
the OpenRISC tool chain). This builds the test program. If necessary it copies
data files to the main build/testsuite directory.

Each test then has a DejaGNU expect script in or1ksim.tests (for standalone
tests) and libsim.tests (for library tests), which loads and runs the
test. Support script procedures are in lib/or1ksim.exp and lib/libsim.exp.

Libraries
=========

Within the test-code there are several libraries:

support:    A minimal C library.
except:     Exception handling and startup code.
mc-common:  A library to support the memory controller tests.

Tests which build, but do not run to completion
===============================================

The following tests of standalone Or1ksim rely on VAPI in Or1ksim, so need a
client to provide test data over TCP/IP.

acv-gpio:  a test of the GPIO.
acv-uart:  a test of the UART

Tests which build, but do not run at all
========================================

These tests of standalone Or1ksim (which are built by the make file), do not
appear to run at all. The problem is in the linker script and/or the
configuration for Or1ksim.

mc-async:  a test of the memory controller with asynchronous memory.
mc-dram:   a test of the memory controller with DRAM.
mc-ssram:  a test of the memory controller with SSRAM.
mc-sync:   a test of the memory controller with synchronous memory.
uOS:       a microKernel.

Tests which do not build
========================

The following test of standalone Or1ksim builds with a myriad of warnings.

inst-set-test:  a comprehensive test of the instruction set using C.
