Information for BareMetalMipsSingle
This page provides detailed information about the mips.ovpworld.org BareMetalMipsSingle Virtual Platform / Virtual Prototype.
Description
Bare Metal Platform for a MIPS Processor.
The bare metal platform instantiates a single MIPS processor instance, using big endian data ordering.
It creates memory across the full address space 0x00000000 to 0xffffffff.
The platform can be passed any application compiled to a MIPS elf format as the argument, select the
variant of processor that should be used
platform.OS.exe application.CROSS.elf 'port number for connecting GDB'
Where OS is Linux or Windows and CROSS is the CrossCompiler toolchain used
A further option may be added to the command line to specify the port to attach the debugger.
Licensing
Open Source Apache 2.0
Limitations
BareMetal platform for execution of MIPS MIPS32 binary files compiled with CodeSourcery CrossCompiler toolchain.
Location
The BareMetalMipsSingle virtual platform is located in an Imperas/OVP installation at the VLNV: mips.ovpworld.org / platform / BareMetalMipsSingle / 1.0.

Built-in Arguments
Table 2: Platform Built-in Arguments
| Attribute | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| allargs | allargs | The Command line parser will accept the complete imperas argument set. Note that this option is ignored in some Imperas products |
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.
