Hello. I am designing a MIPS processor in VHDL as part of a class, and I would like to compile and run several programs on this processor in order to test them. I can successfully compile the programs and convert them into a raw binary format for use with the processor I designed, but I now need to also run the programs on the MARS simulator in order to check the accuracy of my processor implementation. The MARS simulator will only accept assembly source code as input (and not raw binary or object files), so I tried using -S to produce the assembly code for the programs. The problem is that MARS does not understand macros such as %lo and %hi (although it does have basic support for directives), so the code won't run. I also tried using objdump to disassemble the object file, but it inserts a bunch of extra junk such as instruction addresses. How can I get the raw assembly code in a simple format (that MARS can parse)? Thanks, Kerrick Staley
