[Gems-users] Opal compilation and traces

["Mishali Naik" <mishalinaik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
         In opal/README the following is specified:

   # "data" should be a sym-link to somewhere with lots of space!
   # trace start: outputfile is ./data/onem-latest
   opal0.trace-start
 onem-latest

I do have a symlink to scratch.local in simics_workspace/home/MOESI_CMP_NUCA (thats where I am running simics from) pointing
to a directory, but when I run "opal0.trace-start opal-testrace" command I get the following
errors:

opening file /scratch.local/opal-testtrace
opening file /scratch.local/mem-opal-testtrace
[1]     PC 0x18c358     NPC 0x18c35c    ctx 0x81b
sh: /scratch.local/opal-testtrace: No such file or directory
sh: /scratch.local/mem-opal-testtrace: No such file or directory
.......

Also if I add printf's in the opal code and then make clean and rebuild opal, I don't see the changes taking place. What could the problem be?

Any kind of help is appreciated.

thanks,
