Hi Kalle,

Thanks for the hints. I thought that foreign toolchain might be
the way to go, but the emulation part is what I was looking
for.

Yes, we do have a toolchain for Blackfin binary generation,
but an emulator for it...hmm.. is still a bit struggling. Skyeye
promisses to be such, but it is still obscure how it works.
We tried to debbug a simple application (e.g. hello world), but
it requires the board to do it. So, no emulation what so ever.

The instruction set is a mixture of RISC with Intel MSA (Micro
Signal Architecture).

The reason I thought to use sbox if for teaching purposes in ou
computer architecture course as don't have macroboards 
available, so an environment like
 scratchbox would suit well.

In case we need emulation would the link you suggested be ebough?
If not, any clues??

Many thanks!

If you have a toolchain that can produce binaries for Blackfin, and
possibly an emulation for it (I didn't really decipher from the
Blackfin site
 exactly how general-purpose processor it is, and with
what kind of instruction set it is armed with so i dunno if one
requires emulation to build projects for it...), building a foreign
toolchain is what you are looking for. The wiki explains more about
this:
