Thanks for your help. Although I didn't use starter_fs.py evently, your
suggestion reminds me of dist_bigLITTLE.py. now I can let two gem5
instances ping each other successfully. In order to help more people who
have identical requirements with me, I wil post my boot script as follow:
${GEM_PATH}/util/dist/gem5-dist.sh \
-n 2 \
-r ${LOG_DIR} \
-c ${CHECKPOINT_DIR} \
-x ${GEM_PATH}/build/ARM/gem5.opt \
-s ${GEM_PATH}/configs/dist/sw.py \
-f ${GEM_PATH}/configs/example/arm/dist_bigLITTLE.py \
--m5-args \
--debug-flags=DistEthernet,Ethernet \
--fs-args \
--caches \
--bootloader=${BOOT_LOADER} \
--kernel=${KERNEL} \
--disk=${DISK} \
--bootscript=${BOOT_SCRIPT} \
--cf-args \
--dist-sync-start=1000000000000t \
