Hi everyone,
I am trying to run a client-server setup using arm64. I am using the
(latest) linaro kernel (3.16) and disk image suggested on the GEM5
downloads page. Simply building the kernel with defconfig (as recommended
in the README) does not seem to setup the ethernet drivers. Running
"ifconfig -a" only yields the loopback device/interface.
I then opened up the .config (generated by defconfig) using menuconfig and
enabled all the settings related to ethernet and re-built the kernel. After
booting, "ifconfig -a" results in this:
bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr CA:FB:D0:02:D0:7E
BROADCAST MASTER MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:784 (784.0 B) TX bytes:784 (784.0 B)
I tried running the sample client-server rcS scripts and tried both dummy0
and bond0, but pings did not go through. From others' posts and sample rcS
scripts, it seems that GEM5 expects eth0.
Does anyone know if client-server is supported for arm64 in GEM5, and if
so, how to get them to communicate? I am using the latest GEM5 revision
(10240).
Thanks!
