I became interested in ARM assembly after reading the x86 assembly Forth tutorial that was recently posted on HN. Lacking an ARM processor, though, I'm wondering what emulation options are available? I'm looking for a dead-simple setup that will let me test and run whatever toy ARM assembly programs I write.

  Any specific recommendations from that set? I was looking at Qemu earlier but I'm curious to hear from HN folks who have had experience with these emulators.

    Check out the Amiga emulator UAE - it's been ported to virtually everything (Linux, OS X, Windows, DOS, BeOS, Palm OS, and much more, including AmigaOS!) and is under active development (WINUAE, anyway): http://www.thefreecountry.com/emulators/amiga.shtml http://www.thefreecountry.com/emulators/amiga.shtml http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAE_(emulator) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAE_(emulator)

      From the webpage it seems that UAE emulates the m68k, not the ARM processor.

    Qemu is pretty good, but ARMv7 emulation isn't quite complete yet. Anything compiled by gcc will probably run though.
