Documentation

Refer to the documents in the following table for details on the
microSPARC-IIep design. Except for SPARC Architecture Manual (the last
item), which is a link to SPARC International, they are in Adobe Portable
Document Format (PDF).
 microSPARC-IIep User's Manual      Describes the hardware
                                    implementation of the
                                    microSPARC-IIep design. This manual
                                    contains details of the pipeline,
                                    the core's external interface,
                                    megacell specifications, the
                                    functional units in the design, and
                                    the interface between these units.
 microSPARC-IIep Megacell Reference Describes the microSPARC-IIep
                                    megacell requirements.
 Errata - microSPARC-IIep Chip      Describes the errors and
                                    workarounds.
 microSPARC-IIep Validation Catalog Describes a suite of validation
                                    tests for the microSPARC-IIep
                                    technology.
 microSPARC-IIep Design Application Describes how to run RTL functional
 Note                               validation with the microSPARC-IIep
                                    design
 Multiprocessor SPARCTM             Explains the facilities for
 Architecture Simulator (MPSAS)     creating or modifying MPSAS modules
 Programmer's Guide                 or otherwise extending MPSAS.
 Multiprocessor SPARC Architecture  Describes how to use MPSAS and its
 Simulator (MPSAS) User's Guide     associated programs.
 SPARC Architecture Manual, Version Describes how to implement the
 8                                  SPARC 32-bit architecture and
                                    develop the SPARC system software
                                    (that is, simulators, compilers,
                                    debuggers, and operating systems).

For details on the RTL source, see the online documentation for the RTL
model.

Setup and Simulation

See the microSPARC-IIep Design Application Note for details on how to build
the RTL model and run the RTL simulation.
