Things have been pretty hectic here, so I haven't had much time to post anything. Recently, I've begun a new personal project: writing a simulator for the MIPS I CPU arhcitecture. I chose this particular CPU because it's the simplest architecture for which gcc can generate code. There are many other MIPS CPU simulators out there, but all of them do more than I need, so I decided to write my own as simple as possible. The ELF loader and symbol lookup are finished, and now I'm working on developing test vectors for the simulator (a very boring part).
As for why I'm doing this - the answer will hopefully be clear soon :-)
