Error building FireSim in the Chipyard

Open derAlteBarbarossa opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Impact: software Environment: Chipyard Version: Latest version, Hash: e3d23f10345cfafd9a2f4f8aacfe07c2746699f9 OS:Centos7 3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I am trying it on one of the EC2 instances (As instructed by FireSim)

When I run ./scripts/firesim-setup.sh --fast, it runs to the following error: error: Failed build dependencies: openssl is needed by kernel-3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64

In spite of having openssl installed: ~/chipyard$ openssl version OpenSSL 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018

It's also worth of mentioning that on the same machine, I could install FireSim. But when trying to install it from Chipyard, it runs to the aforementioned issue.

Thanks for your help in advance

At first glance, this doesn't look like a Chipyard-related failure. It looks like an OS distribution package manager error.

Can you tell us a little more regarding what you mean by "on the same machine, I could install FireSim"? I'm slightly confused, since the ./scripts/firesim-setup.sh --fast script simply calls the FireSim installation script. FireSim and Chipyard are released at the same time, so the FireSim commit within Chipyard should be synced.

I managed to instal FireSim on an FPGA Developer AMI of Amazon. I could launch it and simply run some workloads. I saved the image with this installed and working FireSim. Later, when I try to follow Chipyard's instruction, this error occurs. Is there any way, to link the already installed version of FireSim to Chipyard?

Chipyard and FireSim currently support a hybrid structure, in which either of them can act as the "top level". If you look at the firesim/target-design directory within your firesim repo, you will find Chipyard submoduled there (with the firesim submodule within Chipyard disabled).

However, I still find this error to be pretty strange. Are you running ./scripts/firesim-setup.sh --fast after running the rest of the chipyard setup scripts?

This should no longer be an issue with the latest conda-based setup scripts
