GXemul is an experimental instruction-level machine emulator. Several
|
|
emulation modes are available. In some modes, processors and surrounding
|
|
hardware components are emulated well enough to let unmodified operating
|
|
systems (e.g. NetBSD) run as if they were running on a real machine.
|
|
|
|
The emulator is written in C, does not depend on third-party libraries,
|
|
and should compile and run on most 64-bit and 32-bit Unix-like systems,
|
|
with few or no modifications.
|
|
|
|
Devices and processors are not simulated with 100% accuracy. They are
|
|
only "faked" well enough to allow guest operating systems to run without
|
|
complaining too much. Still, the emulator could be of interest for
|
|
academic research and experiments, such as when learning how to write
|
|
operating system code.
