Abstract :
This paper proposes a basic ARM full system simulation environment, on which one can run and debug system or user-level programs. It has flexible software architecture and good encapsulation. We implemented a remote debugging system based on our simulation kernel, which extends remote serial protocol (RSP) of GDB and using Eclipse as the front-UI to build a platform-independent system. These provide benefits to embedded system study, o.s. development, and application performance tuning.
