21.3.6 OpenRISC 1000

The OpenRISC 1000 provides a free RISC instruction set architecture. It is mainly provided as a soft-core which can run on Xilinx, Altera and other FPGA's.

gdb for OpenRISC supports the below commands when connecting to a target:

target sim

Runs the builtin CPU simulator which can run very basic programs but does not support most hardware functions like MMU. For more complex use cases the user is advised to run an external target, and connect using ‘target remote’.

Example: target sim

set debug or1k

Toggle whether to display OpenRISC-specific debugging messages from the OpenRISC target support subsystem.

show debug or1k

Show whether OpenRISC-specific debugging messages are enabled.
