"PDP-8"
| "PDP-8" an emulator of DEC's PDP-8 computer. | |
▪
Creating a virtual machine instance:
create a new instance of the PDP-8 virtual machine |
▪
For the virtual machine, the following properties can be queried:
"PDP-8"
obj["MemoryDataset"] | ||
obj["MemoryState"] | ||
obj["MemoryView"] | ||
obj["ScreenState"] | ||
obj["StepCount"] | the number of steps the machine has been run |
▪
For the virtual machine, the following commands can be executed using :
"PDP-8"
return an interactive debugger | ||
return an interactive PDP-8 front panel | ||
load a list of integers bin | ||
read the contents of the memory address addr | ||
write val addr | ||
reset the state of the processor, setting the program counter to org | ||
reset the machine, loads bin org | ||
run n | ||
run n |
