Simics with GEMS

Author: Berkin Ozisikyilmaz

Getting GEMS modules working with Simics

The current version of GEMS supports both using Simics 2.2.x and 3.0.x. However, Simics has discontinued providing license files for 2.2.x version, and Archer has 3.0.31 installed by default.

If you want to install the same Simics 3.0.x version as your local system, it is very easy and the license server of Archer works fine. Once you have the Simics working, before you can follow the steps at Setting up your GEMS environment and Quickstart.

Installation

You need a couple of packages installed on your VM. Those are as follows:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install csh
sudo apt-get install bison
sudo apt-get install flex

After the compilation steps in Quickstart guide of GEMS, you can continue following the instructions at "Using the customized modules and images on the local machine using scripts" section of the Archer Simics tutorial Archer:Simics.
