I can provide u some idea ... if it helps u I'll take one example and try to explain u. 000000,5.RS,5.RT,5.RD,00000,100000:SPECIAL:32::ADD "add r, r, r" *mipsI: *mipsII: *mipsIII: *mipsIV: *mipsV: *mips32: *mips64: *vr4100: *vr5000: *r3900: { ------ ------ } The above is existing code for add instruction in mips.igen. You want that this instruction should be supported by your architecture. Firstly you need to change configuration files. Firstly add your architecture based information in configure files in main directory and sim directory Example: /src/sim/mips/configure For mipsisa32 the configuration information is as follows mipsisa32*-*-*) sim_gen=IGEN sim_igen_machine="-M mips32" sim_igen_filter="32,f" sim_mach_default="mipsisa32" ;; Here sim_gen is simulator generator Sim_igen_machine will work as a model name ie for mipisa32 the model name is mips32. sim_igen_filter is size of instructions sim_mach_defult is for bfd. You also define ur architecture. Put yours entry wherever needed in the configuration files. Suppose u have defined as followes for architecture xyz xyz*-*-*) sim_gen=IGEN sim_igen_machine="-M xyz" sim_igen_filter="32,f" sim_mach_default="mipsisa32" ;; Also add this target name in the configuration files in the main directory If you want add instruction to be support by ur architecture "xyz" Than put ur architecture name in the model list as follows 000000,5.RS,5.RT,5.RD,00000,100000:SPECIAL:32::ADD "add r, r, r" *mipsI: *mipsII: *mipsIII: *mipsIV: *mipsV: *mips32: *mips64: *vr4100: *vr5000: *r3900: *xyz: (new architecture) { ------ ------ } Now if u build gdb for "xyz", this "ADD" instruction will be supported.If u don't want to support this instruction ... remove ur model name from here.
