HOST-COMPILED MULTI-CORE SYSTEM SIMULATOR =========================================
This is the release of the HCSim-1.0 simulator.
This folder contains abstract models of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and high-level multi-core processor models for full-system host-compiled simulation [1]. Building and installing:
------------------------
Build requirements:
- SystemC version 2.2.0 or 2.3.0 http://www.accellera.org/
- TLM 2.0 http://www.accellera.org/
Preparation before build:
- Edit Makefile.macros. Set the following variables (external dependencies):
SYSTEMC_DIR - to the installation directory of SystemC-2.2.0 or SystemC-2.3.0
TLM_DIR - to the installation directory of TLM-2.0 Build hcsim library:
% make clean
% make all
Running:
--------
Before run an example:
% source <install_path>/bin/setup.sh
To run examples locally:
% cd <example>
% make test
<example> can be one of:
- examples/simple_taskset
- examples/mix_taskset
- example/mix_taskset_tlm2.0
