1.Open a new simulator instance by launching "SimNow.exe" in your install directory.

2.Select “File→New BSD“ or click on the button to create a new BSD file.

3.Select “View→Show Devices” or click on the button to show the blank Device Window.

4.For each item added, click and drag the icon from the device list on the left side into the workspace area on the right side of the window.

5.Add the Debugger device. This device needs no connections drawn.

6.Add the AweSim Processor and the AMD 8th Generation Integrated Northbridge. When you add the AweSim Processor, CPU Simulation Stats are added to the Main Window.

7.Connect the AweSim Processor and the AMD 8th Generation Integrated Northbridge by shift-click-dragging from one to the other. When the

“Connections” tab of Device Properties Window appears (shown in Figure 6-2),choose the CPU Bus 0 for both devices, and click on Ok. The connection appears as a line between the two devices on the Device Window. Then create an additional connection between the two devices using the Interrupt/IOAPIC Bus on each device. The Device Window shows only one line for the two connections between these devices. You can view the connections for each device by right- clicking on the device and looking at the “Connections” tab in the Device Properties Window.
