Hi Martin,
First off: I'm glad this project is alive again, thanks a lot! It
would be great to use a small simluator with newer avr's on a linux.
Enough flowers.
Alive? Really? ;-) Ok, it's right, that some here have made some
effort on it, but: that's not really official in the moment. I assume,
that you have read the postings in the last months. So, you know, that
there is a git repo with some newer development. If you want to use
that, then we could really say, that there is a little bit live in it
... :-)
I know my question is not that fair, because the atmega2560 is a
relatively complex and new piece of hardware. But I'm using one right
On my first look to atmega2560, it's not a very big step. There is no
new, excotic hardware on it. Timer and USART look as the same as other
atmega parts. I'm not sure, if the bigger flash space will bring some
problems and I've not compared the instruction set.
So it's not impossible in my opinion, to get this part into simulavr.
But the question is: when? In the moment you are the one and only,
which wants to use this part. (ok, the one and only, which writes here
about this device. ;-) ) But if you agree to do some on it forself
(and if you have some experience in coding C/C++), then it's not so
far. :-)
IF you want to do some and you havn't a problem, that our changes on
git repo are not in the official repo, (we have no statement form
simulavr maintainers) then you should start with installing git,
cloning Onno's git repo (the master branch), trying to build it, look
around, what's there ... and send your questions to mailing list! ;-)
That's for now, greetings, Thomas
