rv32emulator

Building and running

Build using make

Run using ./obj/emulator [assembly file path]

Terms should be separated by whitespace! e.g., "add s0 s1 s2" Commas and other delimiters are not support at the moment.

Execution will result in a command prompt, preceded by some information about the instruction to execute next. For example:

Next: lui x02, 0x00000010
[inst:      1 pc:      0, src line    3] 
>>

The following are the supported commands:

s, or [blank] : Step to the next instruction
c : Continue execution until termination
r : Reads the value of the registers. Both register number and alas formats can be used, without space after 'r'. e.g., rx0, rra. A simple r with no trailing register name will print all registers
m : Reads memory values. Memory address prefixed with m (e.g., m0x1000 or m1024) will print four bytes starting from that address. If you want to read more values, give the number of bytes as a parameger. e.g., m0x1000 16.
b : Set breakpoint. e.g., b17 to set a breakpoint at source code line 17. The list of existing breakpoints can be seen with a simple b with no suffixes. Breakpoints can be removed with an uppercase B. e.g., B16.
l : l with no arguments will print the compiled hardware instructions (after translating pseudo-instructions), each with its line number from the original source file.
q : q with no arguments will exit the emulator

Pseudo-instructions are not elegantly compiled, yet
Only one action per line supported! For example, comments and labels shoud go on their own line
