constructor defined

 

Hello,

 

The `DMADevice` is also abstract. See 
https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/refs/heads/stable/src/dev/Device.py#82

 

Maybe what you're trying to do would be best accomplished by adding a new 
SimObject which inherits from DMADevice.

 

Cheers,

Jason

Jason,

 

Thanks for again for the fix related to PioDevice & your guidance to use 
DmaDevice

 

DmaDevice also provides same “No Constructor TypeError” which checking the 
dma_device.cc – the constructor is empty

I just pushed a change that will make this error message better.

 

"fatal: Cannot instantiate an abstract SimObject (system.dev 
<http://system.dev> )" is what the error now says :).

 

See https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/59049

 

Cheers,

Jason

Hello,

 

I believe the problem is that gem5 tries to do too much automatically for you! 
gem5 automatically creates a lot of the constructor/destructor codes. Given all 
of this hidden/automatic code generation, it's difficult to know exactly what's 
going wrong (for both you and for us).

 

That said, I think the problem is that `PioDevice` is an abstract SimObject, 
not a concrete SimObject. This may work if you instead use the `DmaDevice`.

 

Cheers,

Jason

By adding a PioDevice() to my version of two_level.py configuration script, I 
get this error

 

TypeError: _m5.param_PioDevice.PioDeviceParams: No constructor defined!

And checking io_device.cc the constructor looks empty 

 

Any help please? Thanks
