- - m5:
- - src: source code of the m5 simulator
- - test: 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_2.0.tar.bz2. This file
-is included on the CD release, or you can download it separately from
-Sourceforge.
-
-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.
-
-The CD release includes a few extra goodies, such as a tar file
-containing doxygen-generated HTML documentation (html-docs.tar.gz), a
-set of Linux source patches (linux_m5-2.6.8.1.diff), and the scons
-program needed to build M5. If you do not have the CD, the same HTML
-documentation is available online at http://m5.eecs.umich.edu/docs,
-the Linux source patches are available at
-http://m5.eecs.umich.edu/dist/linux_m5-2.6.8.1.diff, the scons
-program is available from http://www.scons.org, and swig is available from
-http://www.swig.org.
