+simavr - a lean and mean Atmel AVR simulator for linux
======
_simavr_ is a new AVR simulator for linux, or any platform that uses avr-gcc. It uses
-avr-gcc own register definition to simplify creating new targets for supported AVR
+avr-gcc's own register definition to simplify creating new targets for supported AVR
devices. The core was made to be small and compact, and hackable so allow quick
prototyping of an AVR project. The AVR core is now stable for use with parts
with <= 128KB flash, and with preliminary support for the bigger parts. The
Extras:
-------
-* _gdb_ support fully work (gdb server) including some pretty cool “passive modes”.

* There is also very easy support for “VCD” (Value Change Dump) that can be visualized
-graphicaly as “waveforms” with tools like _gtkwave_ (see bellow).

* There are a few examples of real life firmwares running on simavr, including OpenGL rendering of the display…
-* There is support _Arduino_, but no integration to the IDE

+_simavr_ can output most of its pins, firmware variables, interrupts and a few other
things as signals to be dumped into a file that can be plotted using gtkwave for
further, precise analysis.
A firmware can contain instructions for _simavr_ to know what to trace, and the file is
