Sample MIPS-based platforms include both bare metal environments and platforms for booting unmodified Linux binary images.
These models are created and maintained by Imperas and in partnership with MIPS Technologies have been tested and assigned the MIPS-Verified(tm) mark. The models in the library are open source, written in C, and include the MIPS 4K, 24K and 34K cores. Open Virtual Platforms (OVP) includes the freely available simulator OVPsim, a library of models of processors, peripherals and platforms, and APIs which enable users to develop their own models. Yet another Emulator is MARS a cross-platform Java MIPS IDE. QEMU is another common emulator environment for MIPS. Another one is MIPS Assembler and Simulator, which has been successfully deployed in and used in a few high schools. This page is going to talk about using MIPS emulators to test MIPS code on a non-MIPS computer.Ī common MIPS Emulator is Spim which is fully cross platform.
