@cindex Hitachi SH simulator
@cindex CPU simulator
For some configurations, @value{GDBN} includes a CPU simulator that you
-can use instead of a hardware CPU to debug your programs. Currently,
-a simulator is available when @value{GDBN} is configured to debug Zilog
-Z8000 or Hitachi microprocessor targets.
+can use instead of a hardware CPU to debug your programs.
+Currently, simulators are available for ARM, D10V, D30V, FR30, H8/300,
+H8/500, i960, M32R, MIPS, MN10200, MN10300, PowerPC, SH, Sparc, V850,
+W65, and Z8000.
