|
A CPU that aims to be binary compatible with the 8086 and with as many optimisations as possible
|
|
|

### Simulating it
|
2023-03-05 06:37:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Both Verilator and Icarus Verilog can be used for simulation. You can select which one you want with the SIM variable on [common.mk](./common.mk)

|
|
|
Specifically this list shows the software needed and the versions used during development (other versions should work as well)

|
|
|
|
2023-05-11 15:28:10 +00:00
|
|
|
* Icarus Verilog : version 11.0 OR **(preferred)** Verilator : 5.008
|
2023-03-05 06:37:07 +00:00
|
|
|
* bin86 : 0.16.21
|
|
|
|
* GNU Make : 4.4.1
|
|
|
|
* xxd : 2022-01-14
|
2023-05-11 15:28:10 +00:00
|
|
|
* POSIX coreutils : GNU coreutils 9.3

|
|
|
|
2023-03-05 06:37:07 +00:00
|
|
|
After that you can run `make` on the top level directory and it should build everything and start the simulation

### Version names
|
|
|
|
The version name consist of three numbers:
|
2023-05-04 02:21:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The CPU that this version aims to be compatible with
|
|
|
|
1. The specific milestone
|
|
|
|
1. Patch level
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example v1.3.2 aims to support 80186 code, is on the fourth milestone and has 2 bug fixes since the milestone was reached.
