given the distress *again* it caused - it was much more than unfortunate,
it indicates a fundamental lack of empathy and an unwillingness to listen.

> Do you want me to write him another letter?

yes please.

it was deeply insensitve of him, and has triggered a recurrence
of a viral infection. with doctors accusing me of FAKING SYMPTOMS it is
simply too dangerous for me to go near them, his response puts me
into further danger.

absolutely.

yes. how to use it, how to modify it, how to change instructions, how
to add instructions, it's all there. makefile example is here
https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=tree;f=src/test/basic_pypowersim;hb=HEAD

the approach michel is taking is so aggressive to me and so non-empathetic
that he is not able to listen when i tell him that.

i don't understand why.

> There's

one addition could be an example of running userspace, but there is no
way to do that from commandline.

right now there is a unit test file demonstrating syscalls
https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=blob;f=src/openpower/decoder/isa/test_syscall.py;hb=HEAD

it was written by dmitry:
https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=history;f=src/openpower/decoder/isa/test_syscall.py;hb=HEAD

who will have submitted it ALREADY with his RFP which has ALREADY BEEN PAID
so there is NO NEED TO DEMAND IT BE FURTHER DOCUMENTED.

which tells you how badly michiel is not actually listening to me.
