Dear rshankar, As I know, the NIC in gem5 is worked only with Full System (FS) mode in order to load the correct drivers etc. You can add the following in order to add the NIC in FS mode: https://github.com/H2020-COSSIM/cgem5/blob/main/src/dev/x86/SouthBridge.py (see the lines with #COSSIM) https://github.com/H2020-COSSIM/cgem5/blob/main/configs/common/FSConfig.py (lines 636, 674-676) Build the gem5. You need download the vmlinux-5.4.49 kernel from here: https://github.com/gem5/gem5-resources/tree/stable/src/linux-kernel You need download the x86-ubuntu.img image from here: http://dist.gem5.org/dist/v21-2/images/x86/ubuntu-18-04/x86-ubuntu.img.gz Mount the x86-ubuntu.img and add the gem5_init.sh in /root using: sudo mount -o loop,offset=1048576 x86-ubuntu.img /mnt cd /mnt sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev sudo chroot . cd root nano gem5_init.sh #Add the following script: #!/bin/bash # Copyright (c) 2021 The University of Texas at Austin. # SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD 3-Clause echo "Starting gem5 init... reading run script file." if ! m5 readfile > /tmp/script; then echo "Failed to run m5 readfile, exiting!!" rm -f /tmp/script if ! m5 exit; then # Useful for booting the disk image in (e.g.,) qemu for debugging echo "m5 exit failed, dropping to shell." /bin/sh fi else echo "Running m5 script from /tmp/script !!" chmod 755 /tmp/script /tmp/script echo "Done running script, exiting." rm -f /tmp/script /bin/sh #m5 exit fi exit # now we are back to the host system cd sudo umount /mnt/proc sudo umount /mnt/dev sudo umount /mnt Now, you may use this cmd to start the FS execution: /home/cossim/COSSIM/cgem5/build/X86/gem5.fast --listener-mode=on /home/cossim/COSSIM/cgem5/configs/example/fs.py --kernel=vmlinux-5.4.49 --disk-image=x86-ubuntu.img --dual The 1st terminal is in 3456 port (telnet 127.0.0.1 3456) The 2nd terminal is in 3457 port (telnet 127.0.0.1 3457) After boot, you need add the localhost and IP in both terminals (eg. ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 & ifconfig eth0 10.0.1.x), where x 2 and 3). You can use "ping -c 1 10.0.1.x" to check the functionality. If you use the above steps in your work, refer to the following COSSIM paper, please: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3378934 If someone has configured the NIC with SE mode, please give us details! :) Best regards, Nikolaos Tampouratzis Quoting rshank...@austin.rr.com: > Hello, > > > > I'd like to add a NIC to simple Gem5 model derived from two_level.py > running in SE mode, x86 CPU. > > Is this supported in Gem5? > > > > Per COSSIM version of gem5 (aka cgem5) states below.
