412027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.deThis subfolder (/ext/systemc)  is a custom redistribution of the Accellera
512027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.deSystemC 2.3.1 library [[1]][sysc]. This distribution replaces Accellera's
612027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.deAutoconf build system with a SCons build system, which is used by gem5.

812027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.deIn the past it happened several times that some changes in gem5 broke the
912027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.deSystemC coupling. Recently Accelera has changed the licence for SystemC from
1012027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.detheir own licence to Apache2.0, which is compatible with gem5. However, SystemC
1112027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.deusually relies on the Boost library. The repository contains all the source
1212027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.defiles from the Accellera distribution, but strips down the boost dependencies,
1312027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.deshown here:[[3]][strip]. All references to the boost library are replaced by
1412027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.decalls to the C++11 STL. This repository also contains the TLM 2.0
1512027Sjungma@eit.uni-kl.deprotocol-checker from Doulos [[4]][doulos].
