Hello Sparsh,
Before describing the actual mistake and ways to get around it, I want to mention two things: 1. On the subject of your e-mail, you are mentioning that you are interested in bringing up a SPARC simulated machine, but you are booting up an x86 Linux. 2. The last error message from your e-mail is mentioning a path that includes ?flexus-testa-pp?. This should be ?flexus-test-app?. Assuming that you actually want to bring up an x86 Linux simulated machine (and not a SPARC one) I understand that you want to verify that the disk image you downloaded from Virtutech is valid. That?s why you?re trying to run ?./simics /home/sparshmi/Desktop/simics-3.0-install/simics_3/simics-3.0.31/targets/x86 -440bx/tango-common.simics?. However, ?tango-common.simics? doesn?t know where tango1-fedora5.craff image is; you have to tell it that. There are instructions how to do that in the simics documentation, but the short answer is either you place the disk image in a directory that simics is looking for images (e.g., the directory where ?tango-common.simics? is) or you make simics search an additional directory. For the latter solution, which is more helpful/interesting, do the following: (assuming you?re in $FLEXUS_ROOT/flexus-test-app) > $SIMICS_PATH/bin/simics //run simics without arguments simics> add-directory checkpoints/ //inside simics add the directory where the disk image resides simics> run-command-file $SIMCIS_PATH/targets/x86-440bx/tango-common.simics //run the script simics> run This should solve you?re problem, although this step doesn?t affect the following ones (the steps described in the manual). It?s only for verification purposes.
