Excellent, I'll have to take a look at those then. It sounds like I/O of "general-purpose micro controllers", like A/D converters and PWM, would have to be written, is that correct? >> I've looked around a bit, and found some indications of it, e.g. a >> branch that allows connection between SystemC and qemu. > > SystemC support is a completely unrelated question to whether > we emulate SoCs.

Well, true, except maybe that SystemC could be a way to write the co-processors/peripherals on the SoC. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
