| [f761f1eb] | 1 | SPARTAN kernel currently supports emulated MIPS R4000 32-bit
|
|---|
| 2 | little-endian architecture. In other words, it can only run in MIPS
|
|---|
| 3 | R4000 emulator called msim. This emulator is being developed by Viliam

| 8 | Note that msim diverges from real MIPS hardware in some aspects.
|
|---|
| 9 | Therefore, some non-trivial changes will be necessary for a real
|
|---|
| 10 | hardware port. The simulator is described in this manual:

|
|---|
| 30 | =========
|
|---|
| 31 | Because the mips port uses binary executable format and for some other
|
|---|
| 32 | architectural reasons, it shares one address for bootstrap entry
|
|---|
| 33 | (address where control is passed from loader) and for TLB refill
|
|---|
| 34 | exception entry. The former is used only once during system bootstrap.
|
|---|
| 35 | From that point further, only TLB refill exception entry uses that
|
|---|
| 36 | address. Note that this is the reason why main_bsp() is called from
|
|---|
| 37 | tlb_refill() code.
