virtio_pcie_fs

Description

PCIe Virtio File System Device. This component should be used with the configuration attribute share set to either a directory or a Unix domain socket file. If the former case, the virtioFS daemon will be started automatically by Simics. In the latter case, the user has to start the daemon manually. This can be beneficial in cases where one would want to run the daemon under fakeroot or root.

Interfaces Implemented

conf_object, log_object, component, component_connector

Notifiers

cell-change: Notifier that is triggered after the object's cell was changed.
object-delete: Notifier that is triggered just before Simics object is deleted.
queue-change: Notifier that is triggered after the object's clock was changed. New clock can be obtained with the SIM_object_clock function.

Commands for this class

info – print information about the object
status – print status of the object

Commands for interface component

connect – deprecated connect components
connect-to – connect component into an existing component hierarchy
delete – delete non-instantiated components
disconnect – deprecated disconnect component connector
get-available-connector – returns the name of a free connector
get-component-object – get named object from components
get-connection – return connection information
get-connector-list – return list of connectors
get-processor-list – return list of processors

Attributes

component_queue: Pseudo attribute; read/write access; type: a
The queue object for this component. It is only used as a placeholder for the real queue object before the component is instantiated. It can point to an instantiated cycle object or a pre_conf object.
components: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: [o*]
This attribute is only valid for top-level components. List of components below the top-level component. This attribute is not valid until the object has been instantiated.
cpu_list: Pseudo attribute; read/write access; type: [o*]
A list of all processors that belong to the component. This attribute is not valid until the object has been instantiated. This attribute is only used in top-level components and other components that are used as software domains.
daemon_log_file: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: s
If set, the FUSE daemon will enable DEBUG logs and log to the provided path, default is unset
domain: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: o|n
This attribute is only valid for top-level components. Domain to put the component in.
dynamic_slots: Pseudo attribute; read/write access; type: D|n
Do not use. Kept for checkpoint compatibility.
instantiated: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: b
Set to TRUE if the component has been instantiated.
machine_icon: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: s|n
This attribute is only valid for top-level components. An instance of a top-level component may override the default system_icon with its own icon. This attribute is the name of an 80x80 pixel large icon in PNG format that should reside in the [host]/lib/images/ directory of the Simics installation or the project.
object_list: Pseudo attribute; read-only access; type: D|n
Dictionary with the instantiated objects that the component consists of.
object_prefix: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: s
Object prefix string used by the component.
pending_cell_object_factories: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: [[ss]*]
Internal attribute for pending cell objects factories.
share: Required attribute; read/write access; type: s
Either a directory to share with the target, or a unix domain socket file.
static_slots: Pseudo attribute; read/write access; type: D|n
Do not use. Kept for checkpoint compatibility.
system_info: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: s|n
This attribute is only valid for top-level components. A short single-line description of the current configuration of the system that the component is a top-level of. The line may include the Linux name of the simulated machine, the installed operating system, or similar information. For example Tango - Fedora Core 5 Linux
tag_name: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: s
The tag name to be used when mounting the device on the guest, default is simics
top_component: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: o|n
The top level component. Attribute is not valid until the component has been instantiated.
top_level: Optional attribute; read/write access; type: b
Set to TRUE for top-level components, i.e. the root of a hierarchy.
