Distribution Announcement
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BSVC is a microprocessor simulation framework written in C++ and Tcl/Tk.
It was developed as a senior project at North Carolina State University
by Bradford W. Mott. BSVC provides a graphical user interface and a
collection of C++ classes to facilitate the development of microprocessor
simulators. So far the BSVC framework has been used to developed a
Motorola 68000 simulator and a HECTOR 1600 simulator. The BSVC distribution
contains the following:
* BSVC Graphical User Interface (written in Tcl/Tk)
* BSVC Simulator Framework (C++ classes)
* Motorola 68000 simulator & assembler (including the M68681 Dual UART)
* Hector 1600 simulator & assembler
CHANGES
=======
The following changes have been made:
1.0b3 to 1.0:
a) The memory viewer has been made larger and faster
b) WWW Home Page selection has been added to the help menu
This starts a WWW browser pointed at the BSVC Home Page
c) Added code to handle the STOP instruction
d) Fixed a problem with the RTS instruction
e) Unimplemented intructions cause an illegal instruction exception
f) Fixed the 68000 assembler's INCLUDE directive so that it can
be in any case
g) Compiles with GCC 2.6.2
1.0b2 to 1.0b3:
a) Added an INCLUDE directive to the 68000 assembler
b) Fixed a bug in the Program Listing window that caused it to
only work for programs listed in ascending order
c) Corrected a small problem with the file selector that caused it
to "grab" the mouse while reading a directory (This causes problems
with networked file systems that take a long time to read)
d) Fixed bugs in two of the Framework classes that caused them not
to compile under GCC 2.6.0
1.0b1 to 1.0b2:
a) Added a BREAK instruction to the 68000 simulator and assembler
that acts like a breakpoint. When the simulator executes this
instruction while "running" it will stop running like it
hit a breakpoint.
b) Added a new file selector to the user interface
c) Fixed several small bugs in the HECTOR 1600 simulator
Supported Systems
=================
The BSVC distribution supports the following systems:
* Linux 1.x.x
* Ultrix 4.3
* SunOS
* HP-UX 9.0
Required Software
=================
BSVC requires the following software to compile and run:
* gcc and the g++ library
* Tcl/Tk (Needs the "wish" executable with the addinput extension)
