Hey everyone, I'm running tests from the 'riscv-tests' suite in gem5 bare metal mode. The tests won't stop running and gem5 never exits. I've tried using m5_exit, but it doesn't seem to work. To fix the issue, I used a max instruction limit. Is there a better way to do this? Are m5ops supported in bare metal mode? Thank you in advance for your help! Evangelos

Hi Evangelos, The problem with these tests (in gem5) is discussed here ( https://gem5.atlassian.net/browse/GEM5-938) in detail. Since they get stuck in a loop after executing some instructions (and I think this happens when the useful part of the benchmark is done), probably using max insts is a reasonable solution, but you will have to figure out the (max) number of insts. for each test separately. -Ayaz On Mon, May 8, 2023 at 10:26 AM Kioulos Evangelos via gem5-users < gem5-users@gem5.org> wrote: > Hey everyone, > > I'm running tests from the 'riscv-tests' suite in gem5 bare metal mode. > The tests won't stop running and gem5 never exits. > I've tried using m5_exit, but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi Ayaz, Thank you for your response! I'm using debug flag Exec and a trace file to find the max insts of each test. The issue is that I have to run a large number of tests and each test has a different max insts count. So, I was wandering if there's a way to automate the process. Thank you for your help!
