In my standard , of course, welcome you to contribute something to
SkyEye. I also like to share some  features of SkyEye with you :
What have you done to finish your goal is to write machine related
code. Now in SkyEye, memory read/write , elf-format loading, various
device support etc can be shared in various architectures.  I also
think an instruction engine of powerpc is stable now. That can be
employed by your simulation.  One of important goals of SkyEye is that
more and more common code can be extracted, so we can develop a  new
machine simulation more quickly and simulation is more stable for
these good quality common code.
Add more powerpc machine support is also our development plan in next
version of SkyEye.
