1.1       root        1: LatticeMico32 target
                      2: --------------------
                      3: 
                      4: General
                      5: -------
                      6: All opcodes including the JUART CSRs are supported.
                      7: 
                      8: 
                      9: JTAG UART
                     10: ---------
                     11: JTAG UART is routed to a serial console device. For the current boards it
                     12: is the second one. Ie to enable it in the qemu virtual console window use
                     13: the following command line parameters:
                     14:   -serial vc -serial vc
                     15: This will make serial0 (the lm32_uart) and serial1 (the JTAG UART)
                     16: available as virtual consoles.
                     17: 
                     18: 
                     19: Programmatically terminate the emulator
                     20: ----------------------------------------
                     21: Originally neither the LatticeMico32 nor its peripherals support a
                     22: mechanism to shut down the machine. Emulation aware programs can write to a
                     23: to a special register within the system control block to shut down the
                     24: virtual machine.  For more details see hw/lm32_sys.c. The lm32-evr is the
                     25: first BSP which instantiate this model. A (32 bit) write to 0xfff0000
                     26: causes a vm shutdown.
                     27: 
                     28: 
                     29: Special instructions
                     30: --------------------
                     31: The translation recognizes one special instruction to halt the cpu:
                     32:   and r0, r0, r0
                     33: On real hardware this instruction is a nop. It is not used by GCC and
                     34: should (hopefully) not be used within hand-crafted assembly.
                     35: Insert this instruction in your idle loop to reduce the cpu load on the
                     36: host.
                     37: 
                     38: 
                     39: Ignoring the MSB of the address bus
                     40: -----------------------------------
                     41: Some SoC ignores the MSB on the address bus. Thus creating a shadow memory
                     42: area. As a general rule, 0x00000000-0x7fffffff is cached, whereas
                     43: 0x80000000-0xffffffff is not cached and used to access IO devices. This
                     44: behaviour can be enabled with:
                     45:   cpu_lm32_set_phys_msb_ignore(env, 1);
                     46:
