ABOUT
=====

This is the code to build models of the OpenRISC Reference System-on-Chip
(ORPSoC) using Icarus Verilog (for event-driven simulation) and Verilator (for
cycle accurate SystemC).

It was originally written as a set of examples to accompany Embecosm
Application Note 6, "High Performance SoC Modeling with Verilator: A Tutorial
for Cycle Accurate SystemC Model Creation and Optimization. This document is
freely available and serves as the user guide for these examples:

Note that this directory does not include the architectural simulator, Or1ksim. That can be found separately in the or1ksim directory.


INSTALLATION
============

No installation is required, but see the file INSTALL for details of
prerequisites.
