MIPS System emulator
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Four executables cover simulation of 32 and 64-bit MIPS systems in both
|
|
|
|
|
endian options, ``qemu-system-mips``, ``qemu-system-mipsel``
|
|
|
|
|
``qemu-system-mips64`` and ``qemu-system-mips64el``. Five different
|
|
|
|
|
machine types are emulated:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A generic ISA PC-like machine \"mips\"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The MIPS Malta prototype board \"malta\"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- An ACER Pica \"pica61\". This machine needs the 64-bit emulator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- MIPS emulator pseudo board \"mipssim\"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A MIPS Magnum R4000 machine \"magnum\". This machine needs the
|
|
|
|
|
64-bit emulator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
