[gem5-users] Is the dtb file important for FS simulation?

2018-03-06 Thread 조해윤
Dear, everyone. I try to full system simulation for ARM ISA. So, I downloaded the pre-compiled kernels and disk images (aarch-system-20170616.tar.xz) from the repository ( http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/arm/). There are several dtb files like below. vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1-gem5_1cpus.20170616.dtb

Yes, if you don't modify the dtb, the Linux kernel won't see the change in the number of CPUs change, this can be verified with cat /proc/cpuinfo. You can modify the dtb directly by first converting it to dts human readable form: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14000736/tool-to-visualize-the-

Ah, nevermind, I had forgotten this, the dtbs are tracked inside the gem5 tree: https://github.com/gem5/gem5/blob/a66fe6a8c36c9ab49cb3a35065bfc645d51036c8/system/arm/dt/armv8.dts an built with: make -C system/arm/dt The Makefile uses the cpp preprocessor to generate the dtbs with different core

New versions of gem5 also auto-generate DTBs. This requires support from the simulation script, but that should already be implemented for the configurations in configs/example/arm/ and fs.py. The latter might requires that --generate-dtb is specified to enable this. Keep in mind that the gene

Hello Andreas,Haeyoon Cho, Andreas , thanks thi worked for me too. fs simulation on Arm with 16 CPUS. I wanted to know if any one of you have tried GARNET on ARM? Inputs would really be helpful. I want to simulate a 4*4 mesh garnet system on ARM Thank you in advance. Regards, Sahana Prasad On
