Hi Pau, Thanks again for providing the scripts and the binaries for the new ARM system files.
I was trying them today and it seems that for the 32bit ARM (aarch32) system files, the m5 util is copied to /sbin/m5.aarch32 rather than /sbin/m5. This will likely break bootscripts that expect the m5 utility to be at /sbin/m5. Is this intentional? It seems that for the 64bit version the docker script does the right thing.
