Hi Eric,
I was trying to load a cdrom after boot, but the cdrom did not appear
in /cdrom/cdrom. I did follow the procedures outlined in the simics
documentation, but in fact I had been facing problems because of
flexus! The evidence is that when I simulated my target solaris system
directly from simics, I could load the cdrom. Then, I removed the
following code block:
for cpu in cpulist:
.........
SIM_set_attribute(cpu,"physical_io", new_io_object)
in prepare-test-app-v9.simics, and found that the cdrom mounted properly.
But I feel that those lines are important for proper functioning of
flexus because I get an error :
" Assertion failed: ((!(false))) : Two CPUs connected to the same I/O
timing_model: phys_io "
while I try to create the initial flexpoint.
Would anyone have an idea about how to solve this problem?
Best regards,
Anmol
