Hello, everyone. I am trying to run a full-system simulation using the ARM "VExpress_ELT" platform modeled in gem5. I am using the latest source codes from the gem5 repository.
I compiled linux kernel 2.6.38 to target the ARM Versatile Express platform. I used the corresponding config file and the linux kernel source code patch from the arm website (www.arm.com) to compile the linux kernel. I am using the "fs.py" script file as it is, except that I changed the machine type to VExpress_ELT and changed the main memory size to 1GB. I am also using the linux kernel that I compiled instead of using the pre-compiled kernel provided by the gem5 website. However, it seems like the simulation is not proceeding after gem5 loads the kernel. I am wondering whether the problem is caused by my linux kernel or by gem5. My question is should I somehow change the config file and recompile the linux kernel or should I debug gem5? Are the two ARM Versatile Express platforms (VExpress_ELT and VExpress_EMM) currently stable to use for full-system simulation? Any hints/comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Kiyeon
