-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
- - system/alpha: source for Alpha console and PALcode
-
-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-dev@eecs.umich.edu.
