+>The PowerPC simulator is an architectural simulator which
+implements all the features of the PowerPC needed to run eCos. The
+current implementation provides accurate simulation of the instruction
+set and timers, as well as having generic support for diagnostic
+output  and exceptions.</P
+><P
+>The simulator also allows devices to be simulated, but no
+device simulation support has been defined for the serial device
+drivers in this release.</P
+><P
+>To simplify connection to the simulator, you are advised to
+create a GDB macro by putting the following code in your personal
+GDB start-up file (gdb.ini on Windows and .gdbinit on UNIX).</P
