Re: how to get started?

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion.   (I hope this question
makes sense.)  I have a "hello world" program that
runs on a real ARM processor.  Can I run this program
on SID and see "hello world" on screen?  Do you mind
giving me hints to make this work?

I am evaluating simulators to build a framework for
studying multiple processors.  Does it make sense to
choose SID as the foundation?
