# 64-Bit Linux Userspace RISC-V Emulator
This emulator allows you to run statically-compiled binaries for riscv64-unknown-linux-musl.
The goal is to support most POSIX-compatible OS on most 64bit CPU architectures.

## Instructions
1. Build the toolchain:

  $ cd tools && make -jN	# with N being the number of cores of your system

2. Build the emulator itself and a few example programs:

  $ cd .. && make

3. Build a additional example programs (optional):

  $ cd tools && make extra

To run a test program do:

  $ make run

## Supported Host Architectures
Due to design decisions, only 64bit archs can be supported:

- amd64
- arm64
- riscv64

Note: Once I get more hardware, I can port it to other architectures.

## Supported Host OSs
- OpenBSD
- FreeBSD
- NetBSD
- Linux

## Non-standard Toolchain Dependencies
- gsed (GNU sed)
- gmake (GNU make)
- sudo or doas (only for `make run`, see config.mk.*)
- wget or curl (only on Linux)
- clang (only on NetBSD, because the distribution gcc is too old)

## Bugs
This project is still very experimental and has bugs!
If you find one, please contact Benjamin Stürz <benni AT stuerz DOT xyz>.
