Hello everyone,
I have been trying to run BBench for ARM on gem5 (FS mode) following the
steps on page:
http://www.m5sim.org/BBench-gem5
Command that I used - " build/ARM/gem5.fast configs/example/fs.py -b
bbench-ics --kernel=vmlinux.smp.mouse.arm"
However, on connecting using "telnet localhost ...", I see a shell is
simply loaded and BBench is not really run.
1. Am I missing something? Could someone help me here?
(INITIAL DEBUG:
When I run ARM FS mode simulation:
* using an "linux-arm-ael.img", I am able to use load and run ".rcS"
scripts.
* using an "ARMv7a-ICS-Android.SMP.nolock.img", I am not able to load
and use any .rcS script. (Yes! I did use #!/system/bin/sh in this case
inside .rcs). Rather an interactive shell is loaded up!
Since running BBench uses bbench-ics.rcs under the hood, I suspect issue
is with ability to use these .rcs files.
My understanding is BBench is simply a benchmark that could be run with
any linux kernel (not necessarily
vmlinux.smp.mouse.arm), as long as the disk image has files required for
BBench. Further, eventually I want to run BBench on gem5 with a
self-compiled linux kernel for ARM.
2. Is my understanding above correct?
Thanks
Lokesh Jindal.
