Hi Gabriel, First, Ruby is a bit of a mess as far as circular dependencies go. Some of this is historic, and some of it is inherent to the design. I'm not too surprised you're running into this issue.
The SimObject initialization is documented here: http://doxygen.gem5.org/release/current/classSimObject.html#details Basically, after construction (which happens in m5.instantiate()), the init() function is called on all SimObjects (in an arbitrary order). In that init() function, you can have an object call "registerParent" or something like that on its child to set up the pointers between parent and child. Here's an example in Ruby: https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/refs/heads/stable/src/mem/ruby/network/Network.cc#62 Note that with Ruby, since almost everything has a pointer to the RubySystem, it's pretty easy for either the parent or the child to set up this connection. Again, the design is a bit of a mess, but it should be relatively straightforward to do what you're trying to do.
