primer

primer is a processor and hardware emulator, mainly for RISC platforms.

Main goal is to develop a RISC processor emulator as a concept and a particular implementation:

example processor - used for debugging/testing/educational purposes
existing platform implementation (such as ARM platform)
partial hardware emulation, at least the basic stuff

JavaScript

primer is written entirely in JavaScript. It aims to be a full fledged emulator that can emualte multiple processor platforms and the accompanying hardware.

The aim of the project is to build an emulator ready to run a full operating system (probably Linux) inside the browser.

RISC

primer is mainly emulator of RISC platforms.

Some of the platforms that will be supported are:

ARM (version 7 & 8)
Open RISC

It will provide an easy way to write your own processor architecture and test it out using the built in API for debugging and monitoring.
