Dear all, I am trying to run FS simulation for a modern Android OS (14 specifically). I saw a previous thread mentioning that this is possible with Android 11, but I haven’t found any resources on the topic. Has anyone done this? How much of the guide for Marshmallow is still applicable? (https://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/fullsystem/building_android_m). I tried building an image for Android 14 from AOSP and a compatible vmlinux kernel image, and boot Android using the base_fs.py script but the simulation hangs at the start. If anyone tried this or has any experience on the topic, any help is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Francesco Peverelli

Hi Francesco, As far as I know, it has been many years since anyone has tested android boot. So, it's unlikely that it will work out of the box. However, since it *has* worked in the past, that means it's likely that it can work again... It's just likely to take some development effort.
