Hi, I am currently working on the integration of an SSD FTL model with GEM5. I have been able to compile the model with GEM5. Now I want to redirect the read/write calls from GEM5 to my model. I have seen the raw disk image class and cow disk image class. I guess I need to use the raw disk image class. Here are my questions:
1- If I create a disk in the FS_CONFIG.py, does the current release allow 3 disks on the self.pc.southbridge? 2- When a write/read call to the new disk occurs from the gentoo linux system, how can I detect it is for the new disk in my raw disk image code to redirect it to the ssd model? 3- If I follow a different approach such as creating a new device which has ssd model as its lower layer, how do I register it as a disk device and do I have to write a new kernel driver for it in gentoo? Hope to hear from you soon. I have read all the disk related mails in the past 3 years before mailing here :) Regards, Hasan Ijaz
