How to generate timer interrupt in ARMulator?

Note: This was originally posted on 18th June 2009 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi,

I am trying to generate a timer interrupt in simulator. I tried with Cycle counter register and I am able to increment cycles, but it does not generate interrupt. I have gone through technical reference manual, but I could not find the answer.

If it is not possible in simulator, I would like to know how to simulate an external timer connected to the system. I tried going through timer.c file provided with Armulator(RVDS 2.2) but honestly, could not make much out of it.

Any help regarding this is appreciated. (I am new to ARM programming)

Warm Regards,
myra

EDIT: I am working on ARM1176JZF-S.
