| Sparc64 System emulator |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Use the executable ``qemu-system-sparc64`` to simulate a Sun4u |
| (UltraSPARC PC-like machine), Sun4v (T1 PC-like machine), or generic |
| Niagara (T1) machine. The Sun4u emulator is mostly complete, being able |
| to run Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD in headless (-nographic) mode. The |
| Sun4v emulator is still a work in progress. |
| |
| The Niagara T1 emulator makes use of firmware and OS binaries supplied |
| in the S10image/ directory of the OpenSPARC T1 project |
| http://download.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/opensparc/OpenSPARCT1_Arch.1.5.tar.bz2 |
| and is able to boot the disk.s10hw2 Solaris image. |
