== Source ==
 
A tarball of the BBench source can be found here:
 
 
 
[http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/bbench/bbench_umich_gem5.tgz BBench Source]
 
 
 
== Running BBench on Android with Gem5 ==
 
Everything required to run BBench is provided in the next section. You will need the kernel, the disk image, and the rcS script. The kernel and disk image should be placed in ''path_to_gem5_system/binaries'' and ''path_to_gem5_system/disks'' respectively. The default gem5 scripts look for a kernel called ''vmlinux.arm.smp.fb.2.6.38.8'' and a disk image called ''android-mbr.img''. You will have to either rename the files or create softlinks to them once you have downloaded and untarred them. The bbench.rcS file should be placed wherever you keep your rcS scripts. This is ''typically path_to_gem5_root/configs/boot''.
 
 
 
You will also need to modify your Benchmarks.py file to include bbench, i.e. include a line like the following:
 
 
 
'bbench':   [SysConfig('bbench.rcS', '256', 'android-mbr.img']
 
 
 
== Android Full-System Files ==
 
These files contain everything you need to get Android, and BBench, up and running on Gem5.
 
 
 
* [http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/bbench/vmlinux_and_config_arm.tgz Kernel] -- Pre-compiled Android kernel and config file.
 
 
 
* [http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/bbench/Gingerbread_disk_image.tgz Disk Image] -- Disk image with a pre-compiled Android Gingerbread file system. This disk image contains all of the files generated during initial boot, as well as a self-terminating version of BBench and BusyBox.
 
 
 
* [http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/bbench/Gingerbread_disk_image_clean.tgz Clean Disk Image] -- Disk image containing only the pre-compiled Android Gingerbread file system. This disk image contains no benchmarks and has never been booted.
 
 
 
* [http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/bbench/bbench.rcS rcS Script] -- Script for automating a BBench run on Gem5.
