Here is the refreshed patch for the SimNow support against current RCS. Something is triggering my bat sense that the tree isn't exactly in a right state, but I can't remember what it is. Please test the tree with and without the patch to make sure that its sane.

[BUILDROM] Add support for the AMD SimNow (TM) simulator
Add a build option and a patch against LinuxBIOS to allow the Serengeti-Cheetah platform to come up on its emulated self in the SimNow simulator.
Signed-off-by: Jordan Crouse jordan.crouse@amd.com
It boots for me with the patch, and builds with and without. Acked-by: Myles Watson myles@pel.cs.byu.edu

r64. Thanks.

Is there a howto on the web page to show how to use this sim environment? This is really cool.
We can also use it for v3 development.
ron p.s. v3 status on alix1c -- had no time last night, won't get back to it since I am going on travel. But it's still stuck in pll_reset -- seems to crash on the rdmsr ...

Its on my list to do. Maybe Myles can beat me to it, since he has experienced getting it from the developers website and getting it going (I compile it from the code, which is a different path).

I put up a basic page today that should help someone get started. It's at http://www.linuxbios.org/AMD_SimNow and it's linked to from the homepage, down by QEMU.
Feel free to ask questions or clean it up as suits your tastes.

Very nice, thanks! But please add a license at the bottom of the page (use {{GPL}} or {{PD-self}} etc).
See here for a list of licenses: http://linuxbios.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namesp...
We can add others if you prefer another (free-ish) one.
Uwe.

I noticed your part about the serial port.
Interacting with the serial port is difficult since you have to write to one file and read from another. I wrote a tool to help with that; it muxes the serial pipes into a telnet server. All you have to do is run the tool along side SimNow, and then telnet into port 9000 on your box, and you're in. You can also output the muxed pipes to a pseudo-tty and access it with Minicom, but I really find the telnet interface much easier.
I put the tarball here: http://linuxbios.org/~jcrouse/snserial-1.0.tar.gz
I'll write up some instructions on the SimNow page on how to use it.
