I received many requests for this back in October so I have decided to
post this. The seven parts that follow comprise some free software for
evaluating the 29000 32-bit RISC processor. Included are an
architectural simulator which runs on the PC and an (obsolete)
assembler as well as a compiled dhrystone binary which you can run on
the arch. sim. The purpose of the arch. sim. is to allow modeling
different memory systems, varying number of wait states, etc, to see
how much cost you must spend to get the performance your application
needs.
Please note that this software is both free and obsolete. It's
intended for you to play with, and that's all. There is no support
given, especially from me. The assembler format is obsolete, we
switched over to an incompatible one years ago. The arch. sim. which
is included does not have support for 29K features introduced since it
was written. (we have current arch sims but this is not one of them.)
If you try this out and like it, there is information included on how
to get the real stuff, such as Metaware or Green Hills C compilers.
(gcc, as well as 4.3 BSD will be available for it, but there are no
firm procedures or schedules yet.) This posting is merely a duplicate
of what is available on the BIX service, and I have made no
alterations to it at all.
We have a marketing guy who would love to hear from you. (I am probably
too busy to help out much, witness this Jan posting to the Oct letters)
His name is Brett Stewart, brett@amd.com.

I am disappointed in you, Phil. I thought that you knew better than to post binaries to comp.sys.ibm.pc. Anyway, be advised that it ISN'T going into the archives at Clarkson, so everyone who wants it better suck it up right now. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) "I saved the whales!" - Rebecca L.
