GNU ARM builtin Simulator and ARMv6

[Manuel Hohenauer]

Hi all,

my applications contain inline assembly with
some ARMv6 instructions (mainly the media extensions
like dual signed multiply, pack etc.). Even though gcc
compilation is successful, the executable does not run in
the builtin simulator (gnuarm 4.0.2). It says something like
"ARMv6 instruction SMUL/SMLA ... not supported".
That really surprised me, because the ARMv6 is already
around for quite some time.

So, does anyone know if a gnu simulator exists which
supports all ARMv6 instructions or can anyone send me
a proper patch for the simulator ? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Manuel

No free simulator which supports ARMv6 is currently available, you will have
to buy a commerical tool.
