Simulate Armber on Mac OS

The Amber processor core is an ARM-compatible 32-bit RISC processor. The Amber core is fully compatible with the ARM® v2a instruction set architecture (ISA) and is therefore supported by the GNU toolset.
I would like to try run on my Mac Mini, so, I install Armber, tools and do some modification...

1. Download the Amber project from the Opencores Subversion server

$ mkdir ~/AmberInstallPath
$ cd ~/AmberInstallPath
$ svn --username YOUR_NAME -password PASSWORD co http://opencores.org/ocsvn/amber/amber/trunk

2. Install the GNU cross compiler

$ sudo port install arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc
$ sudo port install gawk
$ cd /opt/local/bin
$ sudo ln -s gawk awk
$ sudo ln -s arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc-2005q3 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc

3. Install Icarus Verilog Simulator

$ sudo port install iverilog

4. Edit ~/.profile and add the following

$ export AMBER_BASE=~/AmberInstallPath/trunk
$ export AMBER_CROSSTOOL=arm-none-linux-gnueabi

5. Make scripts executable and create a run link

$ cd $AMBER_BASE
$ chmod +x hw/tools/*.sh sw/tools/*.sh
$ ln -s ../tools/run.sh hw/sim/run


6. Create $AMBER_BASE/hw/tools/runIV.patch by following

7. Create runIV script for iverilog simulator

$ cd $AMBER_BASE/hw/tools
$ patch -o runIV.sh -i runIV.patch
$ chmod +x runIV.sh
$ cd $AMBER_BASE/hw/sim
$ ln -s ../tools/runIV.sh runIV

8. If you see the iverilog compile error message for log2 function in next step, you could replace log2 by $clog2 to solve the problem.

9. Run a Hello-World Test with Amber 25

$ cd $AMBER_BASE/hw/sim
$ runIV -5 hello-world

10. Hello-World simulation Result

Amber Boot Loader v20110202130047
