simavr -- a simple, lean and mean AVR simulator

http://gitorious.org/simavr

simavr is a new AVR simulator for linux, or any platform that uses avr-gcc. It uses 
avr-gcc own register definition to simplify creating new targets for supoortted AVR
devices.

The core was made to be small and compact, and hackable so allow quick protoyping 
of an AVR project. The simulator loads .elf directly, and there is even a way to
specify simulation parameters directly in the emulated code using an .elf section.

The status of the project is the core works at about 98% (ie, it works, but there 
is a known bug). The supported IOs are eeprom, IO ports (including pin interupts), 
8 bits timers (well, one of mode of the myriad) and a simple UART that makes 
ÒprintfÓ work.

gdb support is planned next.

PREQUISTES:
+ avr-gcc ; tested with 4.3.4 (from debian)
	The code rudely assumes the avr-gcc is in /usr/lib/avr/include/...
+ libelf-dev

BUILD:
+ make

TEST:
+ ./simavr/simavr tests/atmega88_example.axf

There are no command line options for now.. The simulator recognizes attiny85, 
atmega48,88,168 and atmega644. It's fairly easy to add new cores.
