gEDA-dev: Newbie Question on Icarus and Arm Project

[Steven Wilson]

Teresa  -

IF You are using the standard ARM simulation models, what they call
DSM's, you won't be able to do this.

The DSMs are only provided for the main commercial simulators (in my
experience anyway) which would be ModelSim, NCVerilog, and VCS. 

You MIGHT be able to simulate the ARM processor if you have actual ARM
source code.  There are some publically available ARM verilog
implementations with various degrees of faithfulness to the ARM code.
But none in my experience (and I've spent some time looking!) are close
to representing the ARM processor's actual bus, .i.e. the control
signals the processor actually emits.

So - if you are trying to simulate the interface to an AMBA bus for
instance - the available models are insufficient big time.
