Information for BareMetalM14KSingle

This page provides detailed information about the mips.ovpworld.org BareMetalM14KSingle Virtual Platform / Virtual Prototype.

Description
Bare Metal Platform for a MIPS M14K Processor. The bare metal platform instantiates a single M14K processor instance, using big endian data ordering. The platform can be passed any application compiled to a MIPS elf format as the argument It will also allow a port number to be specified to allow the connection of a remote GDB debugger. platform.OS.exe -program application.CROSS.elf [-port ] Where OS is Linux or Windows

Licensing
Open Source Apache 2.0

Limitations
BareMetal platform for execution of MIPS M14K binary files compiled with CodeSourcery CrossCompiler toolchain.

Location
The BareMetalM14KSingle virtual platform is located in an Imperas/OVP installation at the VLNV: mips.ovpworld.org / platform / BareMetalM14KSingle / 1.0.

Command Line Control of the Platform

Built-in Arguments

Table 2: Platform Built-in Arguments

When running a platform in a Windows or Linux shell several command arguments can be specified. Typically there is a '-help' command which lists the commands available in the platforms.
For example: myplatform.exe -help

Some command line arguments require a value to be provided.
For example: myplatform.exe -program myimagefile.elf

Platform Specific Command Line Arguments
No platform specific command line arguments have been specified.
