Thank you for your replay. I need to modify and test a very simple kernel (actually running on a single-core only) on a multi-core PReP platform; I currently have no real multi-core HW so I am looking for a multi-core PReP emulator.

CC'ing Andreas, the PREP maintainer. My rough estimate would be a simple "no, unless you do it" though :). Why would you need emulated SMP on PReP? Alex
