# Endhost

Code structure:
 - `proto/`: protocol definitions for PCIe and Ethernet channels
 - `nicsim_common/`: helper library for NIC simulations
 - `dummy_nic/`: dummy device illustrating PIO with cosim-pci interface
 - `corundum/`: verilator-based cycle accurate Corundum model
 - `corundum_bm/`: C++ behavioral model for Corundum
 - `netsim_common/`: helper library for network simulations
 - `net_tap/`: Linux tap interface connector for Ethernet channel
 - `net_wire/`: Ethernet wire, connects to Ethernet channels together:w

## Running Qemu
1. Clone from here: `github.com:FreakyPenguin/qemu-cosim.git`
2. Build with `./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-werror --extra-cflags="-I$PATH_TO_THIS_REPO/proto" --enable-cosim-pci`
3. run dummy nic: `rm -rf /tmp/cosim-pci; ./dummy_nic`
4. To run for example (only the last two lines are specific to this project):
```
x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -machine q35 -cpu host \
    -drive file=/local/endhostsim/vm-image.qcow2,if=virtio \
    -serial mon:stdio -m 2048 -smp 2 -display none -enable-kvm \
    -chardev socket,path=/tmp/cosim-pci,id=cosimcd \
    -device cosim-pci,chardev=cosimcd
```
5. in vm test with:
    * `for read: dd if=/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:03.0/resource2 bs=1 skip=64 count=1`
    * `for write: echo a | dd of=/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:03.0/resource2 bs=1 seek=64 count=1`

## Running Gem5
1. Clone from here: `git@github.com:nicklijl/gem5.git`
2. Build with: `scons build/X86/gem5.opt -jX` (with `X` set to # cores)
3. run dummy nic: `rm -rf /tmp/cosim-pci; ./dummy_nic`
4. To run for example:
```
./build/X86/gem5.opt \
    configs/cosim/cosim.py \
    --termport=3456 --kernel=$EHSIM/images/vmlinux \
    --disk-image=$EHSIM/images/output-ubuntu1804/ubuntu1804.raw \
    --cpu-type=X86KvmCPU --mem-size=4GB \
    --cosim-pci=/tmp/cosim-pci --cosim-shm=/dev/shm/dummy_nic_shm
```
5. Attach to gem5 terminal: `./util/term/m5term localhost 3456`
