Software tools

A number of software tools are provided to help with development.

Assembler

Summary: asm [options] filename.asm >filename.lst

Options:
-h, --help
Print help

These assembly pseudo-ops are provided:


		org	0x10		; Set location to 0x10

		skip	1		; Reserve one memory location

		data	0x23		; Emit 8-bit data byte: upper bits
					; are filled in with halt
					; instruction.

		insn	0x4010ff00	; Emit 32-bit instruction

fred		equ	0x50		; Set label to value

Here is an example run:


./asm euc.asm

Simulator

A simulator is provided which produces an instruction trace. The input to the simulator is the assembly listing output from the assembler.

Summary: sim [options] filename.lst

Optoins:
-h, --help
Print help
-pc xx
Set initial PC value

Here is an example run:

Note that the right-most column is showing the data transfers which occur as a result of the executed instruction.

If the inwait instruction is encountered, the simulator will prompt for a numeric input.
