I'll do the update shortly.
I have one question though. The microcontroller 8085 can be VHDL or
Verilog crafted. How much work and what should be done in order to use
gnusim8085 to interact with GTKWave, so that one, who has developed
VHDL or Verilog code, simulated and viewing GTKWave, can use
gnusim8085 (coupled with GTKWave) to debug the RTL.
For me, it's the software guy who would write codes with gnusim8085.
The hardware guy would have assembly test cases to run on after any
RTL code change. I know this is possible with Modelsim (thanks to its
TCL backend :) ), but how far are we to make this possible ?
Very interesting view point. never thought of integrating hardware and
the simulator like this. Till date gnusim8085 has been a tool to learn
fundamentals of computer architecture and ALP using the 8085 proc. We
have wide user base which in turn means loads of schools still use the
8085 to teach fundamentals of microprocessor programming using 8085.
Neverthless, this is an interesting thought and am CC'ing the dev list
for taking this discussion or getting it implemented.
