I have managed to get around my speed problems with ski by telling it not to try to find source code for the program window. Now that I'm used to it, I'm finding it pretty useful.

Um. I have a nice Linux Alpha machine sitting here that is mostly idle, it would probably run the simulator waaay faster than my poor little i386 machine. It would still be nice to have an alpha port (even a Linux version) if possible. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-ia64 Wed Oct 4 16:10:20 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-ia64@freebsd.org Received: from finch-post-10.mail.demon.net (finch-post-10.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 30ED737B502 for ; Wed, 4 Oct 2000 16:10:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nlsys.demon.co.uk ([158.152.125.33] helo=herring.nlsystems.com) by finch-post-10.mail.demon.net with esmtp (Exim 2.12 #1) id 13gxg0-000NnH-0A; Wed, 4 Oct 2000 23:10:17 +0000 Received: from salmon.nlsystems.com (salmon.nlsystems.com [10.0.0.3]) by herring.nlsystems.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA14474; Thu, 5 Oct 2000 00:16:14 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from dfr@nlsystems.com) Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2000 00:09:45 +0100 (BST) From: Doug Rabson To: Marcel Moolenaar Cc: Murray Stokely , freebsd-ia64@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Roadmap / What needs to be done?

It would still be *really* nice to have a native port although I would settle for being able to run ski under Linux emulation. Given that you are talking to the Ski folks, is there any chance of me getting detailed documentation for the SSC (Simulator System Call) interface?

The documentation is umm... a little > sparse. The initial running environment isn't right for the kernel. I use a miniature bootloader from the linux kernel sources which sets up a translation register for region 7, loads the real kernel and jumps to its entry point. When I get to work, I'll send you the binary of this bootloader (or you can try to build it). Using the bootloader, something like: xski bootloader kernel should work. I also use a ski command file to skip past the bootloader which finishes up at the beginning of ia64_init() so I'll send you that too. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-ia64 Thu Oct 5 0:35: 8 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-ia64@freebsd.org Received: from dragon.nuxi.com (trang.nuxi.com [209.152.133.57]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3AD4537B502 for ; Thu, 5 Oct 2000 00:35:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from obrien@localhost) by dragon.nuxi.com (8.9.3/8.9.1) id AAA56815; Thu, 5 Oct 2000 00:35:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from obrien) Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2000 00:34:59 -0700 From: "David O'Brien" To: Doug Rabson Cc: ia64@freebsd.org Subject: Re: simulator Message-ID: <20001005003459.C52613@dragon.nuxi.com> Reply-To: ia64@freebsd.org References: <20001004203144.I1399@hub.freebsd.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2i In-Reply-To: ; from dfr@nlsystems.com on Thu, Oct 05, 2000 at 08:28:23AM +0100 X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT Organization: The NUXI BSD group X-Pgp-Rsa-Fingerprint: B7 4D 3E E9 11 39 5F A3 90 76 5D 69 58 D9 98 7A X-Pgp-Rsa-Keyid: 1024/34F9F9D5 Sender: owner-freebsd-ia64@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Thu, Oct 05, 2000 at 08:28:23AM +0100, Doug Rabson wrote: > When I get to work, I'll send you the binary of this bootloader (or you > can try to build it).

The problem is that there's hardly any information. The documentation I have access to is basicly a password protected web-page that sort of summarizes the system calls. The SSC has basicly been taken from Gambit. A simulator developed by Intel. I couldn't find anything there. The good news is that the SSC is open for improvements. Any suggestions and/or ideas are welcomed. If there's anything you need/want to know ASAP, let me know; otherwise I'll post the information here in the next couple of days (probably an URL to the actual info). -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-ia64 Fri Oct 6 23:47:48 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-ia64@freebsd.org Received: from finch-post-11.mail.demon.net (finch-post-11.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.39]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F013937B66D for ; Fri, 6 Oct 2000 23:47:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nlsys.demon.co.uk ([158.152.125.33] helo=herring.nlsystems.com) by finch-post-11.mail.demon.net with esmtp (Exim 2.12 #1) id 13hnli-0002TU-0B; Sat, 7 Oct 2000 06:47:39 +0000 Received: from salmon.nlsystems.com (salmon.nlsystems.com [10.0.0.3]) by herring.nlsystems.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA27261; Sat, 7 Oct 2000 07:54:05 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from dfr@nlsystems.com) Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2000 07:47:00 +0100 (BST) From: Doug Rabson To: Marcel Moolenaar Cc: freebsd-ia64@freebsd.org Subject: Re: SSC specs In-Reply-To: <39DE8E0F.6C3746F5@cup.hp.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-ia64@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Fri, 6 Oct 2000, Marcel Moolenaar wrote: > Doug, > > I can give you the information you need.
