Hi, gem5’s event model is a subset of SystemCs, so wrapping SystemC in gem5 will be challenging. In essence gem5 only supports SC_METHOD style concurrency, and we would need some additional support in gem5 to be able to handle SC_THREAD and SC_CTHREAD. It’s not impossible, but it would be painful I reckon.
I do not see why you cannot have SystemC as the top level, use your additional blocks as SystemC modules, and connect them up with gem5, also a SystemC module. There are even TLM ports/adapters readily available.
