VMIPS 1.4 has been released. VMIPS is a MIPS R3000 virtual machine simulator with support for a serial console and GNU cross-compiler tools. This release incorporates a few features, a few bug fixes and a few code cleanups. You can download VMIPS 1.4 from any of the following sites: * ftp://ftp.dgate.org/vmips/releases/vmips-1.4/ * http://download.sourceforge.net/vmips/ * http://www.dgate.org/vmips/releases/vmips-1.4/ * http://vmips.sourceforge.net/releases/vmips-1.4/ VMIPS is free software available under the GNU General Public License; for details, please read the file "COPYING". For installation instructions, please read "INSTALL". VMIPS was built by Brian Gaeke and others; for details, please see the files "AUTHORS" and "THANKS". New features since the last publically released version are detailed in "NEWS". The home page for VMIPS is "http://www.dgate.org/vmips". For bug reporting instructions, please see the VMIPS Manual. User-visible changes in version 1.4 (since version 1.3.2): * A new interaction facility was implemented. This allows you to suspend the simulation, print registers and memory, and then continue by running or single-stepping, without needing to use a full-fledged debugger. * Some of the memory-mapped I/O devices have had endianness bugs fixed and debugging printouts removed. * Certain coprocessor zero branch instructions no longer unnecessarily cause reserved instruction exceptions. * Other minor optimizations. To get the code from CVS as any bug fixes are added, checkout from branch "vmips-1_4-branch". VMIPS 1.4 itself can be checked out using the tag "release-1-4". Please refer to the bug reporting instructions in the VMIPS manual if you have trouble using the software. -Brian Gaeke and the VMIPS developers
