Hello, I am new to GEM5 and I am wondering how to simulate an ARM big.LITTLE architecture correctly: will using the fs.py with the big.little dtb file simulate the architecture or should we use fs_big.LITTLE.py? If the latter, where do we find the default bootscript.rcS file that the python script looks for to boot the system?
I tried to take an example .rcS script and ran it and it seemed to exit cleanly, but then I took only the first line of the ammp.rcS script to try and get manual access to the full system while it is running with the fs_big.LITTLE.py script (similar to when I run fs.py and get the command line). When I telnet-ed in I got the below lines in the result: [ 4.970086] CPU1: failed to come online [ 6.014085] CPU2: failed to come online [ 7.058086] CPU3: failed to come online Does that mean that the nearly blank .rcS file can cause CPUs to not come online?
