Overview of Skyeye

SkyEye is an Open Source Simulator, which simulates series ARM architecture based microprocessors and Blackfin DSP Processor. Users can run Operating Systems such as Linux, uCLinux, uC/OS-II for ARM and can analyze or debug in source level.

By reason of the need of client, we’ll integrate a ARM Instruction Simulator to the LambdaPRO. May be it will be a open source one, or a commerce one. Of course, the best choice is to select a open source simulator.

I studied Skyeye several Months ago, for I am a poor boy. There isn’t enough money to buy a experimental board for myself. Now it works, haha.

After downloaded the latest version of skyeye(skyeye-v1.2_Rel), I tried to run make. Oh god, it made error as follows:

make: *** No rule to make target `binary/dev_lcd_ep7312.o', needed by `binary/libdev.a'. Stop

I tried another make as “make NO_LCD=1”, that works, a binary file skyeye.exe was made by the linker. Then I understood that there may be something wrong with the latest version of skyeye. BUG, BUG, waha , I committed it to the sourceforge.net, and the continued my work.

After an hour’s work, I had run our own os on skyeye successfully, that’s a simple application with three tasks print some messages to the serial port.

En, a wonderful work today.
