That sounds like a workable solution. I need to hunt down an large memory ARM system for that. I wanted to set up something like that so I don’t have to have the class go through a shaky install procedure.

I think you already hint at a better solution, which is to use build the docker image on a different machine, and bundle the gem5 binary to the docker image. Then you can distribute the image to the Jetson.

The Jetson Orin Nano normally comes with 4Gbyte Ram, so I can see that it could be a problem. Where do you apply the –limit-ld-memory-usage command? Did you attempt to build it with the docker command? I am using the Jetson Orin Nano for GPU and openmpi work, so the docker approach would help isolate the system. I am going to work through the installation procedure and see where it ends up.

I've been compiling/using gem5 on an arm system and it works for me. However, please make sure that the system has enough memory to compile gem5. Typically compiling gem5 takes a lot of memory, and you can pass "--limit-ld-memory-usage" to reduce the memory consumption.

All of the system were X86 based. I have a jetson orin nano which runs Ubuntu 20.04 and is based on the ARM processor. Has anyone ever compiled gem5 on a non-x86 based system? I have access to gcc compilers for x86, arm and mips that run on ARM, but I am not sure what needs to be done to compile gem5 on ARM.
