Current Status of the Project

The purpose of this project is to emulate a powerpc 403 virtex 4 board.

Currently we are in the design stage, as proposed here are the expectations.

There will be a command line user interface, which will interact with the "emulator", The Emulator is expected to be on it's own thread or process and able to run continuously without returning to the main process. Additionally there is interest in building up "memory mapped IO" and thus allowing the emulator to allow data from UART and other input/output "memory" to be passed to external programs. External programs are to include a UART handler which will pass the data from the emulator to a com port for use over hyperterminal.

Additionally there is a plan to try to build up a user interface using some form of programming language (preferably openGL). This is to display various LED's and their states (on/off). And Finally we hope to be able to "generate" pseudo clock timing similar to the actual board.

Items in work: 1. User interface to the emulator. 2. Emulator (class) specs are in place, (additional design may be needed) 3. Attempted to build up registers mapped to variable names, need to revisit and correct so they look at the address of the particular array location.
