| 3 | Sparc64 System emulator |
| 4 | ----------------------- |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Use the executable ``qemu-system-sparc64`` to simulate a Sun4u |
| 7 | (UltraSPARC PC-like machine), Sun4v (T1 PC-like machine), or generic |
| 8 | Niagara (T1) machine. The Sun4u emulator is mostly complete, being able |
| 9 | to run Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD in headless (-nographic) mode. The |
| 10 | Sun4v emulator is still a work in progress. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The Niagara T1 emulator makes use of firmware and OS binaries supplied |
| 13 | in the S10image/ directory of the OpenSPARC T1 project |
| 14 | http://download.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/opensparc/OpenSPARCT1_Arch.1.5.tar.bz2 |
| 15 | and is able to boot the disk.s10hw2 Solaris image. |
