+simavr is a new AVR simulator for linux, or any platform that uses
+avr-gcc. It uses avr-gcc's own register definition to simplify creating
+new targets for supported AVR devices. The core was made to be small and
+compact, and hackable so allow quick prototyping of an AVR project. The
+AVR core is now stable for use with parts with <= 128KB flash, and with
+preliminary support for the bigger parts. The simulator loads ELF files
+directly, and there is even a way to specify simulation parameters
+directly in the emulated code using an .elf section. You can also
+load multipart HEX files.
