RARS - RISC-V Assembler and Runtime Simulator

Release 1.0

August 2017

Using RARS through its Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

The IDE is invoked when RARS is run with no command arguments, e.g. java -jar rars.jar. It may also be launched from a graphical interface by double-clicking the rars.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. RARS messages are displayed on the RARS 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.
