2 Installation

These are installation steps that should have been followed before running any of the tutorials.

1. The Intel Simics base package (package number 1000) has been installed.
2. The QSP-x86 package (package number 2096) has been installed. This package contains a simple x86 system with the qsp-x86/firststeps target which will be used in many examples.
3. A project directory has been created (referred to as [project] below) which has the QSP-x86 package as an add-on package.
4. The Grml live full ISO image from the stable 2025.05 release named grml-full-2025.05-amd64.iso has been downloaded and placed in the project directory.

The direct download link for this image is: https://download.grml.org/grml-full-2025.05-amd64.iso. If the download speed is slow, it is also possible to download grml-full-2025.05-amd64.iso from one of the mirrors.

For information on how to install the simulator and create a project, see the Installation Guide.

Some tutorials require that the QSP Clear Linux (#4094) package is installed and available as an add-on package in the project. If you don’t have this package, reading the tutorials and referenced manuals will still provide an overview on the subject.
