Tkisem is "an instructional emulator for version 8 of the SPARC instruction set with a GUI based on Tcl/Tk." It seems mostly complete, but not quite as robust as QEMU. However, it may be a better starting point for learning Sparc Assembly language. It does have a non standard MMU implementation.

Running Tkisem

To run the simulator you need to have TCL 8.0 and TK installed. If you see missing library problems on Linux, just create a symlink from the the current version to the version Tkisem is looking for.

There is the tkisem command for Windows and Linux, and for Linux with X11 the additional gxisem command that starts up in graphics mode.

Installation

There are installation instructions and lab manuals along with binaries for x86 windows and Linux

Tips

If you install TKisem on Windows you may have trouble running as and ld. If you get a stack fault try running the commands as-isem and ld-isem instead of isem-as and isem-ld. Also don't forget to add the programs to your path.
