PowerPC emulation status.

The goal of this file is to provide a reference status to avoid regressions.

===============================================================================

PowerPC core emulation status

INSN: instruction set.

      OK => all instructions are emulated

      KO => some insns are missing or some should be removed

      ?  => unchecked

SPR:  special purpose registers set

      OK => all SPR registered (but some may be fake)

      KO => some SPR are missing or should be removed

      ?  => unchecked

MSR:  MSR bits definitions

      OK => all MSR bits properly defined

      KO => MSR definition is incorrect

      ?  => unchecked

IRQ:  input signals definitions (mostly interrupts)

      OK => input signals are properly defined

      KO => input signals are not implemented (system emulation does not work)

      ?  => input signals definitions may be incorrect

MMU:  MMU model implementation

      OK => MMU model is implemented and Linux is able to boot

      KO => MMU model not implemented or bugged

      ?  => MMU model not tested

EXCP: exceptions model implementation

      OK => exception model is implemented and Linux is able to boot

      KO => exception model not implemented or known to be buggy

      ?  => exception model may be incorrect or is untested

PowerPC microcontrollers emulation status

Implemementation should be sufficient to boot Linux:

(there seem to be problems with uboot freezing at some point)

- PowerPC 405CR

- PowerPC 405EP

TODO:

- PowerPC 401 microcontrollers emulation

- PowerPC 403 microcontrollers emulation

- more PowerPC 405 microcontrollers emulation

- Fixes / more features for implemented PowerPC 405 microcontrollers emulation

- PowerPC 440 microcontrollers emulation

- e200 microcontrollers emulation

- e300 microcontrollers emulation

- e500 microcontrollers emulation

- e600 microcontrollers emulation

===============================================================================

PowerPC based platforms emulation status

* PREP platform (RS/6000 7043...) - TO BE CHECKED (broken)

- Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4

- Debian Linux 3.0

- Mandrake Linux 9

* heathrow PowerMac platform (beige PowerMac) - TO BE CHECKED (broken)

- Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4

- Debian Linux 3.0

- Mandrake Linux 9

* mac99 platform (white and blue PowerMac, ...)

- Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4 - boots, compiles linux kernel

- Debian Linux woody - boots from CDROM and HDD

- Mandrake Linux 9 - boots from CDROM, freezes during install

- Knoppix 2003-07-13_4 boots from CDROM, pb with X configuration

  distribution bug: X runs with a properly hand-coded configuration.

- rock Linux 2.0 runs from CDROM

* Linux 2.6 support seems deadly broken (used to boot...).

* PowerPC 405EP reference boards:

- can boot Linux 2.4 & 2.6.

  Need to provide a flash image ready to boot for reproductible tests.

TODO:

- URGENT: fix PreP and heathrow platforms

- PowerPC 64 reference platform

- MCA based RS/6000 emulation

- CHRP emulation (not PowerMac)

- PPAR emulation

- ePPAR emulation

- misc PowerPC reference boards emulation
