Oh, and something else. I am not a maintainer of this project but I've
involved because of my university has put me an assignment(actually a
master thesis). So by reading the code of the or1ksim0.2.0 I have
concluded that there is no good measuring of cycles so I've done
something else. I've set on my own some CPI(clocks per instruction) and
with little scripting I can see which commands are executed (from the
executed.log) and how many times these commands are executed and I
calculate the total cycles of my own. For example I've set that the
"l.and" command uses 1 cycle if with my little script sees that there
are 3 "l.and" I measure 3*1 total cycles. The simulator uses a scheduler
which every n cycles tries to communicate with virtual devices that are
defined in the sim.cfg like keyboard, uart, etc . These cycles are also
added in the simulation cycles, so there is not so accurate. If you want
to use the simulator for cycle counting do something similar with me
make a little script and count the commands from the executed.log . If
you just want to use the simulator to run programs then you don't need
to count cycles.
