Re: [Gems-users] Running ruby and opal

[mehmetderin.harmanci@xxxxxxx]

  Hello,

  I'm not totally sure since I'm also quite a new user but I guess there
  are no problems in your simulation. The fact that you can not control
  simics console is probably because when you start Opal it is Opal who
  drives Simics and it probably does not let you send any command through
  the console. I had the same experience before. But if you try a really
  shorter simulation (because simulation with Opal+Ruby can take really
  long time) you will see that simics command prompt appears again when
  the opal returns (thus when opal  simulation ends).

  For the messages you get; I do not know what they are but they are also
  somewhat recorded in the file which provide the opal statistics (which
  you tell opal by "opal.sim-start" command).

  Of course simics authors would give you more sound answers but I think
  your simulation runs just fine.

  Hope this helps,

  Derin Harmanci.
