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_2.0.tar.bz2. This file
can he downloaded separately from Sourceforge.
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.
