My understanding was that FVPs (at least the AEM versions) were freely licensed as to be a resource for open source developers.
However, after downloading and installing aem-armv8-FM000-KT-00059-r11p7-30rel0.tgz it always stops shortly after I try to run it complaining that it can't find a license.
I HAVE read the getting started guides and I can't find any mention of obtaining a license. I do see options on the web site to buy a license (not going to do that) or for a "eval" license.
I have not completed the eval license for the following reasons:
* I don't want ARM sales people contacting me about buying tools
* I don't want a license that expires after 90 days or whatever
* Locking the license to my enet MAC address seems very restrictive for a tool that I thought was "freely licensed"
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
Can you also please clarify which FVPs are "freely licensed" and which ones are pay only?
Thanks,
Bill
Sorry I was travelling last week and will be again soon.
The command line I am using for this is:
./FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A -a ../../images/brot_ve_64.axf >base_with_env_and_dir.log 2>&1

Hi Bill,
thanks for the additional info. There are two versions of the AEMv8-A FVP. One requires a license to run the other does not. From the name of the executable in the log I can see that you have downloaded and are trying to run the version requiring a license, which of course you don't have as you were expecting the other version.
Could I ask where you downloaded from?
Please try the following, and let me know if it resolves the problem.
1. go to developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/simulation-models/fixed-virtual-platforms
2. select the download link:
This links to the version of the AEMv8-A that does not require a license. Please install & try. The name of the executable is different in this package to the one in your log.
FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A - free to use FVP
FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A - licensed FVP
Regards,Rob.
Your right Rob that works for me.
That is where I thought I downloaded from but it must not have been. I _was_ clicking around a lot because I was confused about what was free and what was not. Over the weekend I tried the foundation model and it had worked fine.
I just retried the ARMv8_M download from the same section and had similar license issues. Is it suppose to be free?
(I am trying to get setup to test TF-A and TF-M the way ARM does)
Hi Bill, good to hear you are making progress and now have the FOC AEMv8-A model. We don't have an FOC AEMv8-M model available. Are you OK to take this conversation away from the Forum and contact me directly so we could discuss how we can enable you with an Armv8-M model?
Rob, thanks for your help. That is good for now. I will pursue other contacts for ARMv8. Thanks!
