  • single step
  • register/memory examination
  • expression evaluation without the support of symbols
  • watch point
  • differential testing with reference design (e.g. QEMU)
  • snapshot
• CPU core with support of most common used instructions
  • x86
  • real mode is not supported
  • x87 floating point instructions are not supported
  • mips32
  • CP1 floating point instructions are not supported
  • riscv32
  • only RV32IM
  • riscv64
  • only RV64IM
• memory
• paging
  • TLB is optional (but necessary for mips32)
  • protection is not supported
• interrupt and exception
  • protection is not supported
• 5 devices
  • serial, timer, keyboard, VGA, audio
  • most of them are simplified and unprogrammable
