The current TLM bridge only provides a Slave Port that allows the gem5 world to send request to the SystemC world. This patch series refractors and cleans up the existing code, and adds a Master Port that allows the SystemC world to send requests to the gem5 world. This patch: * Implement 'pipe through' for gem5 Packets (see explanation below) Basically, this patch ensures that all transactions that originated in the gem5 world are converted back to the original packet when entering the gem5 world. So far, this only worked for packets that are responded to by a SyctemC component (e.g. when a gem5 CPU sends a request to a SystemC memory). By implementing the 'pipe through' this patch ensures, that packets that are responded to by a gem5 component (e.g. when a gem5 CPU sends a request to a gem5 memory via a SystemC interconnect) are handled properly.

This is the gem5 simulator. The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/Introduction, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/Documentation and http://www.gem5.org/Tutorials. To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/Dependencies for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ALPHA, ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See http://www.gem5.org/Build_System for more details and options. With the simulator built, have a look at http://www.gem5.org/Running_gem5 for more information on how to use gem5. The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - configs: example simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5 - src: source code of the gem5 simulator - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems - tests: regression tests - util: useful utility programs and files To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware (console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk images. Please see the gem5 download page for these items at http://www.gem5.org/Download If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
