Hi Sebastian,

You should ideally not use the old DTBs that we used to ship with the ancient 
kernels. All 4.x kernels use the DTBs that ship with gem5 (see system/arm/dt/). 
These use the new VExpress_GEM5_V1 platform instead of the old VExpress_EMM 
platform.

See the wiki for more details: http://www.gem5.org/ARM_Linux_Kernel

Cheers,
Andreas

Subject: [gem5-users] Building a DTB file for NoMali Android

Hello All,


I've successfully built and run Android KitKat within gem5, and for the next 
step I want to incorporate NoMali. I have successfully followed the 
instructions on http://gem5.org/Android_KitKat up
 to adding to the device tree. Android by default seems to use the dtb file: 
vexpress.aarch32.ll_20131205.0-gem5.1cpu.dtb. I can't find the dts file for 
that so I may build a new dtb file.
After looking around a bit, it seems that it could use the 
vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1-gem5.dts that comes with the linux-arm-gem5 kernel 
repository. However, I'm trying to run the command make in the 
/linux-arm-gem5/arch/arm/boot/dts directory, but it just returns:
 rm -f /../*.dtb.


So my question is, which dts file do I edit to include gpu, and if its the 
linux-arm-gem5 one, how do I actually build the necessary dtb file.


Thanks,
Sebastian
