man faum-node-pc (1): Start a virtual machine

SYNOPSIS

faum-node-pc [-h] [-B dirname] [-D n] [-d] [-k keymap] [-g guitype] [-a audio_module] [--sparse]

DESCRIPTION

faum-node-pc

starts a virtual machine.

OPTIONS

-h

: print short explanation

-B dirname

: Use directory dirname to creating temporary files and disk image files. As a default node.def in the will get used.

-D n

: set debug level to n

-d

: turn on debugging (short for -D 1)

-k keymap

: set the key translation map to keymap

-g guitype

: Use guitype, where guitype is one of gtk or null. null disables the GUI entirely, useful for running automated experiments. gtk is the default.

-a audio_module

: Use audio_module, where audio_module is one of alsa1x, esd, file, macosx, oss, pulse or null. Not all modules may be available for your system. By default, the best available audio module is chosen.

--sparse

: Enable usage of sparse files for all generated media images, like hard disc images. Please use this option only, if you know that you've got sufficient disk space.

EXAMPLES

To run faum-node-pc, you must have a precompiled system.ic that specifies the setup of the simulated PC as well as a simulation.setup that determines simulation specific parameters in your working directory. You can use fauhdlc to compile a structural VHDL setup into a system.ic file.

FAUmachine comes with a number of example experiments in /usr/share/faumachine/experiments.

To run such an experiment, you can use make -f /usr/share/faumachine/experiments/<experiment>/Makefile experiment.

ENVIRONMENT

FAUM_AUDIO

: Specifies the desired audio module to use. Same as the -a option.

FAUM_SPARSE

: Set to 1 to use sparse files for all media files.

FAUM_GUI

: Specifies which gui to use. Same as the -g option.
