Hello,
Thanks a lot for your response Andreas. Just to experiment, I reverted
configs/common/MemConfig.py and configs/common/HMC.py back to the versions
before the changeset 11551.
$ hg revert -r 11251 configs/common/MemConfig.py
$ hg revert -r 11292 configs/common/HMC.py
At the moment, these changes allowed me to start an FS simulation with
--mem-type=HMC_2500_x32 flag and boot up the image file without any problem.
$ ./build/ARM/gem5.opt configs/example/fs.py --mem-type=HMC_2500_x32
--disk-image=images/disks/aarch64-ubuntu-trusty-headless.img --machine-type
VExpress_EMM64
..
I will be looking at the lines you pointed and try to see what can done.
Thanks again and kind regards.
Serhat

Subject: Re: [gem5-users] Using HMC Model in FS Mode
Hi Serhat,
Something seems to go wrong in the HMC.py
File "configs/common/HMC.py", line 261, in config_host_hmc
for i in xrange(system.hmc_host.num_serial_links)]
AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute ‘ser_ranges'
I’d suggest to have a look at the control flow here and take a good look at
what it is expecting. I bet the bug is a simple divergence of assumptions as
the HMC.py script is not used in any regression. If you do fix it please post a
patch.
Thanks,
Andreas

Subject: [gem5-users] Using HMC Model in FS Mode
Hello all,
This e-mail is going to be a long and detailed one, sorry in advance.
I am trying to run a FS simulation on ARM architecture using HMC model, a
custom image file which contains a customised gcc. I have been struggling for a
while, had managed to solve some of them thanks to Erfan Azarkhish and Andreas
Hansson but hit a wall again. It would be great if someone could give any ideas.
With the newly cloned and built gem5, it is not possible to run the example
configuration script configs/example/hmctest.py (by Abdul Mutaal) out of the
box. It gives the following error:
$ ./build/ARM/gem5.opt configs/example/hmctest.py --mem-type=HMC_2500_x32
--mode=RANDOM --arch=same

Assertion `(dram_pkt->rankRef.pwrState == PWR_ACT) ||
(dram_pkt->rankRef.pwrState == PWR_IDLE)' failed.
...
Andreas suggested to comment out this line at the moment (a patch is coming
soon).

After this change one can run the example (which runs in SE mode):

Done!
However, even with the change it is not possible to use configs/example.fs.py
for FS mode (had to cut out --arch and --mode since there are no such options
in fs.py or Options.py).

After getting this error I created a configuration script to use FS mode with
HMC model: hmcfs.py (link to this script is at the bottom of this e-mail)
Using this script gave the following error at first:
$ ./build/ARM/gem5.opt configs/example/hmcfs.py --mem-type=HMC_2500_x32

The X86 architecture gave a similar error:
$ ./build/X86/gem5.opt configs/example/hmcfs.py --mem-type=HMC_2500_x32

hmc_dev.xbar3.slave[1] but at this point configs/common/FSConfig.py already
have had the system_port connected to the membus.slave. Applying the following
changes (could be done better) allowed me to progress.
$ hg diff configs/common/FSConfig.py

Basically I am stuck at this point. Could anyone point me out my mistakes/how
to solve this problem?
