Current state of the P3 Emulator:
    - All opcodes implemented (first stage debug achieved)

    - KDevelop 3 Build/Development Environment (automake and friends)
    - The Emulator reads command line options, reads a P3 Program file into memory, executes instructions, syncronizes time for those instructions, finishes emulation when an infinite jump instruction is encountered and NCurses display is working.

To see the emulator in action you should make a P3 example program with moves to the out port, assemble it and run "p3emu -s fastest print.exe", for example.

To download the sourcecode you will have to use the cvs command and checkout.

P3 Emulator CVS Web Interface
The UML diagrams (in the planning directory) don't have extensions at the moment (forgot to put them - I don't think I ever will due to the way cvs works on sourceforge.net). They were created using Dia for Linux. The UML diagrams are outdated, I changed the design a bit and added some functions as I went coding.

The P3 Emulator is an emulator for the P3 processor. The processor is theoretical and has a simulator. To get the simulator go to the IST-LEIC Computer Architecture Course Website (in Portuguese) and enter the "Laboratório" section.

For more "automatic" information, check out the Sourceforge.net: Project Info - P3 Emulator page.

Development Information:
  1. The project code is being developed using KDevelop as a Simple C application;
  2. The code contains Doxygen Tags to produce readable API documentation in HTML;
  3. The OS used for development is Gentoo Linux.

Rui Dias was a major developer for the P3Emu opcodes and some general debugging. Rui Dias became a p3emu developer in October 2003.

This website will not go beyond this simple page until the project is in its beta stage. Even so, I think I won't have time for web design.
