| WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT) |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| The basic source release includes these subdirectories: |
| - m5: |
| - src: source code of the m5 simulator |
| - tests: regression tests |
| - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5 |
| |
| To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled console, |
| PALcode, and kernel binaries and one or more disk images. These files |
| are collected in a separate archive, m5_system.tar.bz2. This file |
| can he downloaded separately. |
| |
| M5 supports Linux 2.4/2.6, FreeBSD, and the proprietary Compaq/HP |
| Tru64 version of Unix. We are able to distribute Linux and FreeBSD |
| bootdisks, but we are unable to distribute bootable disk images of |
| Tru64 Unix. If you have a Tru64 license and are interested in |
| obtaining disk images, contact us at m5-users@m5sim.org |
