This builds base images for several linux-based distros that work with qemu, spike, and firesim.

All builds are controlled through json files. For example, br-disk.json will build/run the disk-based buildroot distro.

Prereq/Init: Be sure to update/init submodules. The following will require the riscv-tools on your path and a recent version of qemu.

To build: ./sw-manager.py -c CONFIG.json build

To run on qemu: ./sw-manager.py -c CONFIG.json launch

To run on spike: ./sw-manager.py -c CONFIG.json launch -s

To run on FireSim: See the firesim documentation.

Tl;Dr: images built with build.py will work on firesim, you just need to update the symlinks in workloads/deploy/ and then run them as normal. This will be intergrated more completely in future releases.
