Temporarily add to the test. I think the idea of always having nop as a
pseudo-mnemonic in gas is still open. Christian for sure hasn't weighed
in yet.

No problem. Hopefully it is ok. Easier to fix after getting the bulk in IMO.

rtems-tools/tester/rtems-test is a nice Python tool for running a set of
.exe's.
It has to be taught how to run the simulator for a particular BSP.

rtems-testing/sim-scripts the older framework which supports more simulators
at the moment but does not parallelize the runs. If you want to add it
to this,
I can help.

You should teach rtems-test about running the or1ksim. Chris can give
some advice on that.

Ideally both frameworks would support the or1ksim BSP but rtems-tester
is the new way and preferred.

:) Hopefully I can take a few minutes and read the assembly for the ISR code
next to the SPARC. I need to reproduce what you have first though.
