Hi Jason/Andreas, Thank you very much for the upload. Could you also upload the newer release which uses kernel 4.4 instead of 4.3 for the VExpress_GEM5_V1 platforms? https://github.com/metempsy/gem5_arm_fullsystem_files_generator/releases/download/20170426/aarch-system-20170426.tar.xz
Now we need to think about how to make the transition from the old files to the new ones. I am relatively new to gem5 and I do not know how this has been done before, but I would say that it is worth considering something like what I did in https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/2841/ Any other idea? Regarding updating the links in the gem5 wiki, I do not have permissions for editing http://gem5.org/Download nor for creating new pages, so somebody else will have to do it.

You can add a link on the wiki page to http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/arm/aarch-system-20170421.tar.xz. Let me know if you need me to move it somewhere else or if you need anything else uploaded.
