A good starting point might be to see if you can get your ARM decoder
to parse, generate, and build correctly within M5. In the m5/build
directly, you could do this for ALPHA with a command such as:
scons ALPHA_SE/arch/alpha/decoder.do
Then, you could try to get M5 to build the regular way (e.g. scons
ALPHA_SE/m5.debug ...).
Once that works, you could focus on getting the basic "Hello, world!"
program working. With a ARM/Linux cross-compiled binary, you could edit
a M5 configuration file to run M5 with the SimpleCPU model and the
"InstExec" trace flag enabled (to view the instruction trace).
Hope that helps.
Quoting Mr Stephen Tonkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm currently attempting to implement the ARM ISA on M5. I've been
basing my implementation so far off the Alpha and MIPS SE modes (in
terms of defining the ISA traits, decoding etc.) and am making good
progress at the moment. However, I'm unsure at the moment how I will be
able to debug and test my implementation.
If anyone could suggest some methods on how to test a new ISA, it would
be greatly appreciated.
Stephen.
