+This is the README file for ARMulator version 1.0, an ARM6 instruction
+emulator.
+
+Configuration:
+ The armulator has one configuration option, the default endianness
+ of the processor. This can be changed by building with ENDIAN=BIGEND
+ to produce a big-endian variant. The debugger can also select the
+ endianness at run-time.
+
+Build instructions:
+
+ This program is known to compile using GCC 2.6.0 on a Sun4. Other
+ builds are untested. It almost certainly will not work on non-32bit
+ machines.
+
+ To build the program simply type make in the source directory,
+ followed by "make install"
+
+Using the emulator:
+
+ The emulator runs as a separate process, and communicates with a
+ debugger via tcp. To start the emulator type
+ armul <socknum>
+ where socknum is any number between 1024 and 65535. If the socket is
+ already in use, armul will exit with an error.
+
+ This version of armul has been designed to work with gdb-4.13
+ with the ARM/RDP/RDI extensions added (available separately). To
+ connect gdb to the ARMulator, start gdb and type
+ target arm <hostname>:<socknum>
+ where hostname is the name of the machine on which the armulator
+ is running, and socknum is the socket number specified when armul
+ was started.
