Hi Michael,
0. What are you looking when you say more documentation?
1. How long did you wait? The bbench simulation takes 8 hours to complete
for me when you dont specify the cpu type (default is AtomicSimple). Of
this, I suppose ~2 hours should be boot up. If the cpu is arm_detailed, it
takes a day to boot. You can connect via a vnc client to get the GUI.
2. Add "--frame-capture" to your command line. This will take screenshots
of the simulated machine's screen periodically and dump to
m5out/frames_vncserver.
Hope that answers your question. I have only interacted with command line
and it was too slow, so I never tried interacting with the simulated
machine through the GUI.
Cheers,
Kirtika
