Hello, I'm still trying the KVM cpu for ARM. As far as I can understand:
1) You have to install a linux kernel in an ARM board, both suppoting virtualization/kvm 2) Your bootloader/bootstrapper should enable the Execution Level 2 (hypervisor mode) in your ARM processor before calling the Linux kernel 3) If 1 and 2 are ok, you should see "kvm [1]: Hyp mode initialized successfully" in the boot messages 4) You have to compile gem5 to run in the ARM board (gem5 should find the kvm headers in your linux distro). 5) Run gem5 in FS mode with "--cpu-type=ArmV8KvmCPU" (probably there's a V7 version for ARMv7-A) If step 3 fail, trying to enable the hyp mode in the bootloader may not be an easy task... Hope it helps, -- Fernando A.
