Hi, Unfortunately, I wasn't able to figure out the root cause of the problem. However, I think the pre-compiled linux kernel does not target the Versatile Express platforms, so you have to compile a linux kernel targeting the Versatile Express by yourself. Check out the config file that comes with the pre-compiled linux kernel.
Kiyeon --------------------------------------------- I haven't used VExpress_ELT before, however, I'm testing it out now with the pre-compiled kernel provided by gem5. Have you tried that in order to rule out its being a kernel issue? I've rarely seen any chat on the mailing lists regarding the VExpress machine types, so I expect they haven't been debugged/tested much other than by the developers. -Andrew On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 1:17 PM, Kiyeon Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, everyone. > > I am trying to run a full-system simulation using the ARM "VExpress_ELT" > platform modeled in gem5.
