[gem5-users] issue hooking up gem5 integrated power model

Solved. Turns out you have to explicitly create a SubSystem to pass to the
power model for the temperature domain, it cannot just be a "System".

Hi all;
Has anyone had success with the integrated gem5 power and thermal model?
I'm trying to hook up a basic CPU power model in fs mode as is shown in
# Wire up some example power models to the CPUs

continue
cpu.default_p_state = "ON"
cpu.power_model = CpuPowerModel()

Global frequency set at 1000000000000 ticks per second

Error in unproxying param 'subsystem' of system.cpu.power_model
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/donny/repos/gem5/gem5-asoc/src/python/m5/main.py", line

value = value.unproxy(self)
File "/home/donny/repos/gem5/gem5-asoc/src/python/m5/proxy.py", line
121, in unproxy
(self.path(), self._pdesc.ptype_str, base.path())
AttributeError: Can't resolve proxy 'any' of type 'SubSystem' from
'system.cpu.power_model'

It appears that the default value of "Parent.any" for the "subsystem"
parameter for the PowerModel is not working correctly -- you can see that
my power_model is a child of system.cpu. The parameters and defaults are
defined in src/sim/power/PowerModel.py.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
