Re: [Gems-users] simulation stops when using Opal

Liping,

I think I understand what is causing your problem. You are loading opal when the processor's PC is pointing to a magic break instruction. Thus, when Opal is loaded, the first instruction that is executed is the same magic breakpoint. To get around this, add "c 10" (or "cc 10") after your first echo statement--this will advance simics a few cycles beyond the breakpoint, then pause simulation and allow you to load Opal without re-executing the magic break.

I also note that your script doesn't contain commands to load ruby. You should be aware that without loading Ruby, Opal assumes a simple, single-processor memory hierarchy and doesn't simulate coherence or interconnect.

Regards,
Dan

Hi, All
I use the following script to simulation with opal, but is stops simulation very quickly(From the output, I find that, it stops after 1 instruction).
But it seems work well with Simics only and Simics+Ruby.

Any help?  Thanks a lot!
