Alpha emulation structure: |
4 |
cpu.h : CPU definitions globally exported |
5 |
exec.h : CPU definitions used only for translated code execution |
6 |
helper.c : helpers that can be called either by the translated code |
7 |
or the Qemu core, including the exception handler. |
8 |
op_helper.c : helpers that can be called only from TCG |
9 |
helper.h : TCG helpers prototypes |
10 |
translate.c : Alpha instructions to micro-operations translator |
11 |
|
12 |
Code translator status: |
13 |
The Alpha CPU instruction emulation should be quite complete with the |
14 |
limitation that the VAX floating-point load and stores are not tested. |
15 |
The 4 MMU modes are implemented. |

|
17 |
Linux user mode emulation status: |
18 |
a few programs start to run. Most crash at a certain point, dereferencing a |
19 |
NULL pointer. It seems that the UNIQUE register is not initialized properly. |
20 |
It may appear that old executables, not relying on TLS support, run but |
21 |
this is to be prooved... |

23 |
Full system emulation status: |
24 |
* Alpha PALCode emulation is in a very early stage and is not sufficient |
25 |
to run any real OS. The alpha-softmmu target is not enabled for now. |
26 |
* no hardware platform description is implemented |
27 |
* there might be problems in the Alpha PALCode dedicated instructions |
28 |
that would prevent to use a native PALCode image. |
