About Simics #231

Closed LoserJL closed 1 year ago

LoserJL commented 1 year ago

Where to get Simics to run hostboot before there is actual hardware? And Where to get toolchains for "Standalone compile"?

You would have to purchase a license from Wind River (https://www.windriver.com/products/simics) and also get Mambo from IBM (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/power10-functional-simulator-related-resources).

All of the "standalone compile" toolchains should be available as part of gcc. It is just a cross-compiler. I would recommend using op-build to compile. You can then install that toolchain from there to use independently if needed.
