I was wondering if it would be a copyright violation to make an open source TI ASM emulation in C++.
I got the idea just yesterday. It would be quite a job to do - but open source makes it possible.
TI do publish their data sheets and reference guides/instruction sets at their homepage - so technically I guess that it wouldn't matter. But does anybody know something about this.
Another thing: Would anyone be willing to help me out? My idea is to implement all instructions as macros - and to have some global static memory area reflecting the TI processor and its memory. No fancy things as I/O ports, DMA access and timer interrupts as this time. Later on, a parser for machine code could come.
One would be able to test basic algorithms this way. In the 3rd party program from TI - this is actually all that the programmers are allowed to do, which would make this tool very handy for those wanting to know about TI but not wanting to invest a lot of money in the "real" emulator (CC Studio).
