Hi Everyone, I have just pushed an update to the gem5 ARM kernel repository [1]. The new kernel is based on a vanilla Linux 4.3 and has the following features:
* Based on a vanilla Linux 4.3 kernel (the old kernel was based on a Linaro 3.14 kernel) * Support for the new VExpress_GEM5_V1 platform * Experimental support for more than 8 cores using gem5¹s GIC extensions. * The default kernel configuration supports VirtIO (block devices & terminals) Important limitations / changes: * Device tree descriptions are not shipped with the kernel. See system/arm/dt in gem5 instead. Future gem5 versions will include device tree auto-generation. * There is currently no support for the HDCLD controller (i.e., no graphics support yet). * No default configuration for aarch64 yet. To build the new kernel, follow the instructions on the gem5 wiki [2] and checkout the gem5/v4.3 branch from the linux-arm-gem5 repository. When using the new kernel, remember to use the new device tree files that ship with gem5 (gem5/system/arm/dt) and to select the VExpress_GEM5_V1 machine type. //Andreas [1] https://github.com/gem5/linux-arm-gem5/commits/gem5/v4.3 [2] http://www.gem5.org/ARM_Linux_Kernel IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
