This script shows an example of booting an ARM based full system Ubuntu
disk image using the gem5's standard library. This simulation boots the disk
image using 2 TIMING CPU cores. The simulation ends when the startup is
completed successfully (i.e. when an `m5_exit instruction is reached on
successful boot).

Usage
-----

```
scons build/ARM/gem5.opt -j<NUM_CPUS>
./build/ARM/gem5.opt configs/example/gem5_library/arm-ubuntu-boot-exit.py
```
