Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
This subfolder (/ext/systemc) is a custom redistribution of the Accellera
|
|
SystemC 2.3.1 library [[1]][sysc]. This distribution replaces Accellera's
|
|
Autoconf build system with a SCons build system, which is used by gem5.
|
|
|
|
In the past it happened several times that some changes in gem5 broke the
|
|
SystemC coupling. Recently Accelera has changed the licence for SystemC from
|
|
their own licence to Apache2.0, which is compatible with gem5. However, SystemC
|
|
usually relies on the Boost library. The repository contains all the source
|
|
files from the Accellera distribution, but strips down the boost dependencies,
|
|
shown here:[[3]][strip]. All references to the boost library are replaced by
|
|
calls to the C++11 STL. This repository also contains the TLM 2.0
|
|
protocol-checker from Doulos [[4]][doulos].
