Google is really necessary, but I am unlucky: in China, I have to use baidu instead of (can not use google in normal way), baidu can give a little help (more or less). During these days (From 2014-12-26 to now), gmail is broken in China, I can only use gmail web site via Mac book Safari, which can not send pure text mail (so at present, I have to use another mail address instead of). >> Originally, Linux kernel related members suggest me to add tile to qemu, >> it is not easy to me.

That sounds a good idea for me, when I try to find and send tile related patches. I will try with your suggestions, next. I should try "make check" and send tile related patches firstly, after finish it (hope I can finish within this month), I should continue to try the simulator (may be qemu).
