In this post I prepared what I think is the simplest example on how to manage interrupts for the widespread ARM926 core. From this example one can expand the complexity of the interrupt management at will. I’m going to test the functionality with QEMU, emulating the Versatile Platform Baseboard. I based this example on my […]

Using the CodeSourcery arm-none-eabi toolchain to compile a minimal "Hello World" example for Stellaris lm3s6965 microcontroller. The microcontroller is emulated through QEMU and the output is written to a serial port.

QEMU is able to emulate ARM systems with multiple serial ports, for example the Versatile PB. It has the ability to direct them to many types of host resources such as standard I/O, a pseudo-terminal or a telnet port. I started from my hello world example for bare-metal ARM programs to control three different serial […]

QEMU is able to emulate ARM architectures with many details. One thing that the qemu-system-arm program implements is the Angel interface, that enables semihosting. Semihosting involves two machines: a target (the embedded device), and a host (such as a PC) that is connected to the target through a debug interface. An embedded program running in […]

Atmel AT91 is a series of common microcontrollers that contain ARM cores. The AT91SAM7 series in particular runs the ubiquitous ARM7TDMI. I found out that there is an open source program that emulates these microcontrollers (among many others): it is Skyeye. Skyeye is a project that emulates big and small microcontrollers, and for this reason […]
