-PowerPC emulation status.
-The goal of this file is to provide a reference status to avoid regressions.

-===============================================================================
-PowerPC core emulation status
-
-INSN: instruction set.
-      OK => all instructions are emulated
-      KO => some insns are missing or some should be removed
-      ?  => unchecked
-SPR:  special purpose registers set
-      OK => all SPR registered (but some may be fake)
-      KO => some SPR are missing or should be removed
-      ?  => unchecked
-MSR:  MSR bits definitions
-      OK => all MSR bits properly defined
-      KO => MSR definition is incorrect
-      ?  => unchecked
-IRQ:  input signals definitions (mostly interrupts)
-      OK => input signals are properly defined
-      KO => input signals are not implemented (system emulation does not work)
-      ?  => input signals definitions may be incorrect
-MMU:  MMU model implementation
-      OK => MMU model is implemented and Linux is able to boot
-      KO => MMU model not implemented or bugged
-      ?  => MMU model not tested
-EXCP: exceptions model implementation
-      OK => exception model is implemented and Linux is able to boot
-      KO => exception model not implemented or known to be buggy
-      ?  => exception model may be incorrect or is untested

-PowerPC microcontrollers emulation status
-
-Implemementation should be sufficient to boot Linux:
-(there seem to be problems with uboot freezing at some point)
-- PowerPC 405CR
-- PowerPC 405EP
-
-TODO:
-- PowerPC 401 microcontrollers emulation
-- PowerPC 403 microcontrollers emulation
-- more PowerPC 405 microcontrollers emulation
-- Fixes / more features for implemented PowerPC 405 microcontrollers emulation
-- PowerPC 440 microcontrollers emulation
-- e200 microcontrollers emulation
-- e300 microcontrollers emulation
-- e500 microcontrollers emulation
-- e600 microcontrollers emulation

-PowerPC based platforms emulation status
-
-* PREP platform (RS/6000 7043...) - TO BE CHECKED (broken)
-- Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4
-- Debian Linux 3.0
-- Mandrake Linux 9
-
-* heathrow PowerMac platform (beige PowerMac) - TO BE CHECKED (broken)
-- Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4
-- Debian Linux 3.0
-- Mandrake Linux 9
-
-* mac99 platform (white and blue PowerMac, ...)
-- Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4 - boots, compiles linux kernel
-- Debian Linux woody - boots from CDROM and HDD
-- Mandrake Linux 9 - boots from CDROM, freezes during install
-- Knoppix 2003-07-13_4 boots from CDROM, pb with X configuration
-  distribution bug: X runs with a properly hand-coded configuration.
-- rock Linux 2.0 runs from CDROM
-
-* Linux 2.6 support seems deadly broken (used to boot...).
-
-* PowerPC 405EP reference boards:
-- can boot Linux 2.4 & 2.6.
-  Need to provide a flash image ready to boot for reproductible tests.
-
-TODO:
-- URGENT: fix PreP and heathrow platforms
-- PowerPC 64 reference platform
-- MCA based RS/6000 emulation
-- CHRP emulation (not PowerMac)
-- PPAR emulation
-- ePPAR emulation
-- misc PowerPC reference boards emulation
