However, the nature of real-time systems makes -it essential that the application designer understand certain -processor dependent implementation details.

It is reely available in source -code form under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version -2 or later). PSIM can be integrated with the GNU Debugger (gdb) to -execute and debug PowerPC executables on non-PowerPC hosts. PSIM -supports the addition of user provided device models which can be -used to allow one to develop and debug embedded applications using -the simulator. - -The latest version of PSIM is made available to the public via -anonymous ftp at ftp://ftp.ci.com.au/pub/psim or -ftp://cambridge.cygnus.com/pub/psim.
