LARS - LoongArch Assembly and Runtime Simulator

Release 4.5

May 2024

Using LARS through its Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

The IDE is invoked when LARS is run with no command arguments, e.g. java -jar LARS.jar. It may also be launched from a graphical interface by double-clicking the LARS.jar icon that represents this executable JAR file. The IDE provides basic editing, assembling and execution capabilities. Hopefully it is intuitive to use. Here are comments on some features.

The assembler and simulator are invoked from the IDE when you select the Assemble, Go, or Step operations from the Run menu or their corresponding toolbar icons or keyboard shortcuts. LARS messages are displayed on the LARS Messages tab of the message area at the bottom of the screen. Runtime console input and output is handled in the Run I/O tab.
