   No. "c X" is stepping Simics only, with no effect on the Opal or Ruby
timing modules.  With Opal and Ruby loaded together, it is Opal's job to
step Simics, through the sim-continue() Sim continue interface.  In order
to collect timing information from Opal and Ruby use "opal0.sim-step X"
instead.
