output files and the output directory are are handled. Make the output directory configuration via a command line parameter, or an environment variable. SConscript: Add new output file stuff base/misc.cc: dev/simconsole.cc: use new output file code cpu/base_cpu.cc: use new output file code to generate output streams dev/etherdump.cc: use the output file code to find the output directory use a real stream instead of a pointer dev/etherdump.hh: use a real stream instead of a pointer objects/Root.mpy: output_dir and config_output_file are not longer configured here. sim/main.cc: - Completely rework the command line argument passing to deal with changes in python and output files. - Update help output to reflect changes. - Remove all direct support for .ini files. They are strictly for intermediate representation. - Remove the --foo:bar=blah syntax for .ini files and add --foo.bar=blah syntax for python. This will generate: foo.bar = 'blah' in the python script. - Add '-d' to set the output directory. - Use new output file code to access the output stream. sim/serialize.cc: use the new code to find the output directory sim/universe.cc: Get rid of makeOutputStream. Use the new output file code. Remove output_dir and config_output_file as parameters. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : df2f0e13d401c3a60cae1239aa1ec3511721544d |

This is release m5_1.0_beta1 of the M5 simulator. This file contains brief "getting started" information and release notes. For more information, see http://m5.eecs.umich.edu. If you have questions, please send mail to m5sim-users@lists.sourceforge.net. WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT) ------------------------- Since you're reading this file, presumably you've managed to untar the distribution. The archive you've unpacked has three subdirectories: - m5: the simulator itself - m5-test: regression tests and scripts to run them - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5 (currently ply and libelf) M5 is a capable, full-system simulator that current supports both Linux 2.4/2.6 and the proprietary Compaq/HP Tru64 version of Unix. We are able to distribute Linux bootdisks, but we are unable to distribute bootable disk images of Tru64 Unix. If you have a Tru64 license and are interested in obtaining disk images, contact us at m5-dev@eecs.umich.edu. WHAT'S NEEDED ------------- -GCC(3.X) -Python(2.2.2+) WHAT'S RECOMMENDED ------------------ -MySQL (for statistics complex statistics storage/retrieval) -Python-MysqlDB (for statistics analysis) GETTING STARTED --------------- The following steps will build and test the simulator. The variable "$top" refers to the top directory where you've unpacked the files, i.e., the one containing the m5, m5-test, and ext directories. There are three different build targets and three optimizations in each level: Target: ------- ALPHA - Syscall emulation simulation KERNEL - Linux full system simulation KERNEL_TLASER - Tru64 Unix full system simulation Optimization: ------------- m5.debug - debug version of the code with tracing and without optimization m5.opt - optimized version of code with tracing m5.fast - optimized version of the code without tracing and asserts cd $top/m5/build scons TARGET/OPTLEVL # e.g. KERNEL/m5.opt, use -j N if you have a MP system cd $top/m5-test ./do-tests.pl -B ALPHA # test what you just built ./do-tests.pl -B KERNEL # test what you just built # wait for tests to run... # should end with "finished do-tests successfully!"
