Hi, I'd like to learn ARM programmming using YAGARTO (I'm on Windows, anyway). I don't have any ARM boards at the moment, so is there any simulator on which I can test the code?
gdb offers a target called sim. I have just played a little bit with it and can not tell much. The sim-target can be used of simulate an ARM core (ARM7TDMI IRC) and also offers "hooks" for the standard SWI semihosting stdio. There is no support for integrated functions (like PLL, UART, SPI etc.). You may also try QEMU: http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page . It's usually used to simulator "big" controllers but the documentation also mentions controllers with Cortex-M3 core. For the first steps you may use the evaluation version of Keil/ARM MDK-ARM, it can be used to simulate different controllers and the integrated peripherals. It's a very good simulator for "low-level" work. Since machine-code generated with GNU tools can be simulated by the MDK-ARM simulator too you can use the toolchain as in Yagarto for compilation, assembling and linking. Hope this gives at least a few keywords to feed a search-engine.
Hmm I found these 2 links: http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_arm_qemu.php http://www.armux.org/index.php/Virtual_Development_Board I guess I'll try the "Debian Arm Qemu" first...
