EmuArm is an ARM ISA emulator. It can be used to write, execute, and debug programs written in the ARM and Thumb assembly languages. It has a graphical mode as well as a command line mode.
- In-built text editor to code and debug ARM code
- Emulation support for the ARM ISA
- Thumb ISA
- Breakpoints to assist debugging the program
- Easy console input for integers
- Step Into, Step Over and Step Out functions to get detailed line-by-line execution information of the program
- enter the emuarm directory
- to compile the source code : type
ant compileon the terminal - to make the jar files : type
ant jaron the terminal - to run the jar (emuArm.jar) that is created using GUI, simply type
java -jar emuArm.jar
- enter the emuarm directory
- to compile the source code : type
ant compileon the terminal - to make the jar files : type
ant jaron the terminal - to run the jar (emuArm.jar) that is created, using an assembly file as input, simply type
java -jar emuArm.jar -f=filename. We can either enter the absolute ore the relative path of the file. Eg.java -jar emuArm.jar -f=temp.s - to display the register, branch and memory tables in the output in command line mode, type
-tables after -f=<filename>
You can type regular ARM assembly code, and EmuArm will recognize it. If you need to write Thumb code first put the directive .thumb on a separate line. EmuArm supports two more directives: .read and .print. The .read directive is used to read the value of a register from the command line.
For example you can write:
.read r1
This statement will read in a value into the register r1 from the command line or the GUI console (similar to scanf in C).
The .print directive can be used to print the value of a register to the command line or the GUI console.
For example:
.print r1
See the file example.s in this directory.
