MIPS System emulatorsystem emulation (MIPS)Four executables cover simulation of 32 and 64-bit MIPS systems in both endian options, qemu-system-mips, qemu-system-mipsel qemu-system-mips64 and qemu-system-mips64el. Five different machine types are emulated: − A generic ISA PC-like machine "mips" − The MIPS Malta prototype board "malta" − An ACER Pica "pica61". This machine needs the 64-bit emulator. − MIPS emulator pseudo board "mipssim" − A MIPS Magnum R4000 machine "magnum". This machine needs the 64-bit emulator. The generic emulation is supported by Debian ’Etch’ and is able to install Debian into a virtual disk image. The following devices are emulated: − A range of MIPS CPUs, default is the 24Kf − PC style serial port − PC style IDE disk − NE2000 network card The Malta emulation supports the following devices: − Core board with MIPS 24Kf CPU and Galileo system controller − PIIX4 PCI/USB/SMbus controller − The Multi-I/O chip’s serial device − PCI network cards (PCnet32 and others) − Malta FPGA serial device − Cirrus (default) or any other PCI VGA graphics card The ACER Pica emulation supports: − MIPS R4000 CPU − PC-style IRQ and DMA controllers − PC Keyboard − IDE controller The mipssim pseudo board emulation provides an environment similar to what the proprietary MIPS emulator uses for running Linux. It supports: − A range of MIPS CPUs, default is the 24Kf − PC style serial port − MIPSnet network emulation The MIPS Magnum R4000 emulation supports: − MIPS R4000 CPU − PC-style IRQ controller − PC Keyboard − SCSI controller − G364 framebuffer
