Hi

I want to use Gem5 to generate instruction traces which I then want to use
in other simulators. How can I generate traces using Gem5, and what format
are the traces in?

Thanks and Regards
Setu

Hi Setu,

It might depend on the ISA you are using.
You can generate an instruction trace by running gem5 with --debug-flags=Exec option and this is valid for all ISAs. If you are simulating an Arm CPU, an instruction trace in the Tarmac format can also be generated.

Kind Regards

Giacomo
