Download

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. However, we strongly recommend that you get a copy of M5 by using Mercurial and the instructions on this page.

This page hosts only useful stuff that is not in mercurial.
