You'll find on the web several ARM simulators. I don't know however there
accuracy regarding StrongARM instruction set.

SimIT-ARM
http://www.ee.princeton.edu/~wqin/armsim.htm

ARM simulator in GDB:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/gdb.html


But, do you really need a simulator? As far as I know, the main advantage of
having a general purpose processor like the ARM core on the IXP processor is
to be able to program with usual development tools (C, etc.). Why don't you
program on x86 and then cross-compile towards your IXP1200 ARM target?

I hope it helps,
Yours,
d.
