Hi Yasir, as far as I know heterogeneous ISAs is not supported and will not be supported anytime soon. However, there are workarounds. For instance, you can use the TLM bridge to connect two (or more) gem5 systems to each other. This requires some tricks and linker magic, but it works. I was

Hi Yasir, As Steve says gem5 has some way to go before supporting heterogeneous ISAs. I actually started out quite a while back to make as much as possible non-ISA specific. For example, the memory tree (src/mem) is pretty much completely ISA agnostic. I think the best way forward is to continue

The situation hasn't changed. ISA is still a compile-time constant. That said, I don't know of any other systems that simulate both x86 and ARM even with a compile-time switch, so if you're bound and determined to do it, my guess is that gem5 is probably the best starting point you're going to

Dear All, I am considering to use GEM5 for simulating heterogeneous ISA systems, eg. ARM-x86 systems in a single simulation. I have went through the archives and seen that this is wasn't supported 2 years ago. Is there any update regarding this or is this still not supported today ? Thank you
