The description says it has simulators. What kind of simulator? cgen can generate the instruction-decoding kernels of gdb and sid simulators. See http://sources.redhat.com/gdb and /sid. > Could it be used to create an emulator? To my EE ears, an "emulator" refers to a physical device that plugs into the socket of the chip being emulated. A simulator is a software program that does an abstract form of that. cgen does not deal with emulators of this kind. > Are there any alternatives to these tools available in Debian?
