2017-02-14	arm,config: Add dist-gem5 support to the big.LITTLE(tm) config	Gabor Dozsa
	This patch extends the example big.LITTLE configuration to enable dist-gem5 simulations of big.LITTLE systems. Change-Id: I49c095ab3c737b6a082f7c6f15f514c269217756 Reviewed-by: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com>
2017-02-14	arm,config: Refactor the example big.LITTLE(tm) configuration	Gabor Dozsa
	This patch prepares future extensions and customisation of the example big.LITTLE configuration script. It breaks out the major phases into functions so they can be called from other python scripts.

2016-12-06	arm, config: Add missing IOCache in bL config	Gabor Dozsa
	This patch adds an IOCache to the example bigLITTLE configuration. An IOCache is required for correct DMA transfers when we have caches in the system. Change-Id: Ifeddc1b360aacbb16b1393f361dd98873c834012 Reviewed-by: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com>
2016-11-30	mem: Split the hit_latency into tag_latency and data_latency	Sophiane Senni
	If the cache access mode is parallel, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "False", tags and data are accessed in parallel. Therefore, the hit_latency is the maximum latency between tag_latency and data_latency. On the other hand, if the cache access mode is sequential, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "True", tags and data are accessed sequentially. Therefore, the hit_latency is the sum of tag_latency plus data_latency. Signed-off-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com>
2016-10-14	config: Make configs/common a Python package	Andreas Hansson
	Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the configs/common directory a package. All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully). Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.
2016-09-15	arm, config: Fixups for the example big.LITTLE(tm) configuration	Gabor Dozsa
	This patch refactors the configuration file to use a more object-oriented design. Change-Id: I44ac2d063c2b5901f385544fb6ce3f259459cb05 Reviewed-by: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Gabor Dozsa <gabor.dozsa@arm.com>
2016-07-21	arm, config: Add an example ARM big.LITTLE(tm) configuration script	Gabor Dozsa
	An ARM big.LITTLE system consists of two cpu clusters: the big CPUs are typically complex out-of-order cores and the little CPUs are simpler in-order ones. The fs_bigLITTLE.py script can run a full system simulation with various number of big and little cores and cache hierarchy. The commit also includes two example device tree files for booting Linux on the bigLITTLE system.
