Cloning this repository

The correct way to clone this repository to get the simulator and the submodules it depends on is:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/physical-computation/sunflower-simulator.git

To update all submodules:

git pull --recurse-submodules
git submodule update --remote --recursive

Installation instructions

Read the manual (sunflowersim-manual-and-cover.pdf) if you can. Dependencies: Building the simulator depends on GNU awk (gawk), on the GNU version of bison, and the GNU version of sed, so install them.

Edit conf/setup.conf to match your installation directory and system setup. On macOS, use the configuration:

OSTYPE          = darwin
MACHTYPE        = x86_64

On Linux, use the configuration

OSTYPE          = linux
MACHTYPE        = i386

To configure the emulator to default to RISC-V processor support rather than Hitachi SuperH, you will want:

TARGET		= riscv
TARGET-ARCH	= riscv32-elf

Set the paths to the GNU awk, GNU bison, and GNU sed in conf/setup.conf. Once you have edited conf/setup.conf, follow the instructions in the submodule sunflower-toolchain to build the cross-compiler.
