| Alpha emulation structure: |
| cpu.h : CPU definitions globally exported |
| exec.h : CPU definitions used only for translated code execution |
| helper.c : helpers that can be called either by the translated code |
| or the QEMU core, including the exception handler. |
| op_helper.c : helpers that can be called only from TCG |
| helper.h : TCG helpers prototypes |
| translate.c : Alpha instructions to micro-operations translator |
| |
| Code translator status: |
| The Alpha CPU instruction emulation should be quite complete with the |
| limitation that the VAX floating-point load and stores are not tested. |
| The 4 MMU modes are implemented. |
| |
| Linux user mode emulation status: |
| a few programs start to run. Most crash at a certain point, dereferencing a |
| NULL pointer. It seems that the UNIQUE register is not initialized properly. |
| It may appear that old executables, not relying on TLS support, run but |
| this is to be proved... |
| |
| Full system emulation status: |
| * Alpha PALCode emulation is in a very early stage and is not sufficient |
| to run any real OS. The alpha-softmmu target is not enabled for now. |
| * no hardware platform description is implemented |
| * there might be problems in the Alpha PALCode dedicated instructions |
| that would prevent to use a native PALCode image. |
