ponyo

Ponyo is a (work-in-progress) ISA simulator currently supporting (some of) LEGv8. It also aims to be a framework for implementing simulators for any number of ISAs.

A blog post describing the initial development of this project is on my blog here.

Simulator

• ARM LEGv8 Simulator
  • Harvard architecture
  • Takes in assembly source code
  • Takes in memory file
  • Step through program execution
  • Jump to pre-defined break points in code

CLI

usage: ponyo [-h] -f ASM [-d MEM] [--isa ISA] [--debug] [--gui]

options:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -f ASM, --asm ASM  Assembly file
  -d MEM, --mem MEM  Data memory file
  --isa ISA          ISA of assembly file
  --debug
  --gui

Execute directly:

$ ./ponyo/ponyo.py -f examples/legv8/fib.asm --debug

Install using pip:

$ git clone https://github.com/nobodywasishere/ponyo
$ cd ponyo
$ pip install .
...
$ ponyo -f examples/legv8/fib.asm --gui

Set breakpoints in the assembly by adding //$break on any given line.

GUI

Simply run ponyo with the --gui flag and the assembly file you wish to run.
