We are no longer distributing specific releases of M5 as tarballs. The latest M5 source code (including the alpha-system and encumbered files) is available via our Mercurial repository host at http://repo.m5sim.org. If you want to download the latest stable copy of M5 without installing Mercurial, you can get a tarball from that site via this link.

This page hosts only useful stuff that is not in mercurial and obsolete releases for history's sake.

Useful Stuff Not In Mercurial

Full-System Stuff

• Full System Files -- Pre-compiled Linux kernels, PALcode/Console code, and a filesystem
  • Unchanged since M5 2.0 beta 3. If you already have these you don't need them again.
• linux-dist -- Everything you need to create your own disk image and compile everything in it from scratch
• Blank image script -- Shell script to create a blank disk image (with a partition table like M5 requires) of a given size
• Linux Patches -- A patch queue of diffs against various linux kernels. It's intended to be applied on top of a mercurial repository of the linux tree as a mercurial queue (MQ). Diffs add more than 4 processor support, and fix a bug in the NSgigE device driver, add M5 debugging facilities, and skip wait loops.
• BigTsunami PAL code -- Modified PAL code to support more than 4 processors on Alpha Tsunami.

Benchmarks

• SPLASH benchmarks -- See the Splash benchmarks page for more information

Pre-compiled Cross-compilers

All generated with crosstool for x86 linux hosts/linux targets

• Alpha: gcc-3.4.3, gcc-4.1.1 (NPTL)
• ARM
• SPARC64

Obsolete Revisions

You shouldn't really need anything here; it's just historical.

  • These are now compiled in along with the M5 code using extras.
  • They aren't needed unless you require a feature they provide (most notably eio trace support).
• M5 2.0b3 Full System Files -- Pre-compiled Linux kernels, PALcode/Console code, and a filesystem
  • Unchanged since beta 3. If you already have these you don't need them again.
