Short version:
|
|
|
|
1. If you don't have SCons version 0.96.91 or newer, get it from
|
|
http://wwww.scons.org.
|
|
|
|
2. If you don't have SWIG version 0.96.91 or newer, get it from
|
|
http://wwww.swig.org.
|
|
|
|
3. In this directory, type 'scons build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick'. This
|
|
will build the debug version of the m5 binary (m5.debug) for the Alpha
|
|
syscall emulation target, and run the quick regression tests on it.

WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT)
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
The basic source release includes these subdirectories:
|
|
- m5:
|
|
- src: source code of the m5 simulator
|
|
- tests: regression tests
|
|
- ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5
|
|
- system/alpha: source for Alpha console and PALcode
|
|
|
|
To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled console,
|
|
PALcode, and kernel binaries and one or more disk images. These files
|
|
are collected in a separate archive, m5_system_1.1.tar.bz2. This file
|
|
can he downloaded separately.
|
|
|
|
M5 supports Linux 2.4/2.6, FreeBSD, and the proprietary Compaq/HP
|
|
Tru64 version of Unix. We are able to distribute Linux and FreeBSD
|
|
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.
