WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT)
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
The basic source release includes these subdirectories:
|
|
- m5:
|
|
- src: source code of the m5 simulator
|
|
- test: 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
|
|
is included on the CD release, or you can download it 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.
|
|
|
|
The CD release includes a few extra goodies, such as a tar file
|
|
containing doxygen-generated HTML documentation (html-docs.tar.gz), a
|
|
set of Linux source patches (linux_m5-2.6.8.1.diff), and the scons
|
|
program needed to build M5. If you do not have the CD, the same HTML
|
|
documentation is available online at http://m5.eecs.umich.edu/docs,
|
|
the Linux source patches are available at
|
|
http://m5.eecs.umich.edu/dist/linux_m5-2.6.8.1.diff, the scons
|
|
program is available from http://www.scons.org, and swig is available from
|
|
http://www.swig.org.
