Re: Porting on i.MX6
by Aditya Kousik 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hello Firstly, thank you for patiently replying to our queries and debugging issues so far. We're trying to port Genode onto an i.MX6, which we've realised is no easy task. Our initial approach to this was to tweak existing i.Mx53 files and make corresponding changes (arm cortex a9, created imx6 related folders in include). As pointed out to us by Stefan, this was completely off track as the memory layout may be mixed up (or many more issues). Here's a brief reboot of our attempt: 1. edit create_builddir to add a rule for imx6 board and added build.conf.hw_imx6 in builddir folder. 2. modify board_base.h in base/include/platform/imx6/drivers and fill with addresses by referring to the imx6 reference manual. (We also added CORTEX_A9_CLOCK and private memory base) 3. read through the Makefile and added spec-hw_imx6 and spec-platform_imx6 respectively. 4. created imx6 folder with files in os/include/platform/imx6 as well. (All with imx53 as reference) Make: Since the drivers for imx6 would take a long time to code, we are NOT running demo.run. We tried to build hello.run (without building drivers/timer) according the instructions given in your site. We're getting the following error: Program core/imx6/core COMPILE _main.o ASSEMBLE boot_modules.o COMPILE console.o COMPILE context_area.o COMPILE cpu_session_component.o COMPILE cpu_session_support.o ASSEMBLE crt0.o COMPILE dataspace_component.o COMPILE dump_alloc.o COMPILE io_mem_session_component.o COMPILE io_mem_session_support.o COMPILE irq_session_component.o COMPILE kernel.o COMPILE kernel_support.o COMPILE main.o make[3]: *** No rule to make target `mode_transition.o', needed by `core'.

Using C++11 by default
by Norman Feske 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Hello, I would like to go with the times and switch Genode to use C++11 by default. This will enable us to solve a number of problems in a more elegant way, e.g., by using variadic templates for the RPC framework, we can possibly get rid of the current limit of the number of RPC functions supported by the 'GENODE_RPC_INTEFACE' declarations. Are there any objections from Genode users? For example, is anyone of you still using a custom tool chain that does not support C++11? If no one disagrees, I would go forward and add '-std=gnu++11' as default argument to g++. Regards Norman -- Dr.-Ing.

Pci driver can not handle multiple root complex system
by Jilong Kuang - SISA 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi all, I just found out current Genode pci driver does not support a system with multiple root complexes. More specifically, in the bus_valid() function, it only scans all the devices under the first root complex (starting from bus number 0). As a result, other devices under different root complexes are considered INVALID, thus will be skipped by pci driver code. Maybe a simple patch will fix the problem.

Join the celebration of our 5th anniversary
by Norman Feske 30 Jul '13

30 Jul '13

Hello everyone, the upcoming version 13.08 scheduled for August will mark the 5th anniversary of Genode, which we want to celebrate. >From a technical point of view, the past year was rich of achievements worth celebrating, ranging from the profound support for hardware virtualization and IOMMUs on the x86 architecture, over the coverage of modern ARM-based hardware platforms, up to the ability of Genode to self-host itself. From the perspective of the business of Genode Labs, we are happy to continue our walk on the path of self-funded organic growth, welcoming Martin Stein and Josef Söntgen as regular members of our team. We invite you to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Genode together with us. If you feel connected to the technology we are building or to us as a company, we would be excited to meet you at our barbecue and campfire at the traditional riverside location: Google Maps: http://goo.gl/maps/C0luj 15th of August, 6 pm near Moritzburger Str. 1 in Dresden, Germany If you like to spend a relaxing evening together with the Genode team and friends, enjoy barbecue and beverages, or if you just like to take the opportunity to catch up, please send a brief notice until 12th of August to info@...1...

Re: Which Genode source code to download
by Aditya Kousik 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hi Is it better to clone from genode's github repo or will the sourceforge zipfile do? Because, in many of the queries, a factor of 'not using latest Genode' pops up. Thanks and Regards Aditya

Genode Hack'n Hike 2013
by Norman Feske 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Hello, I'd like to share the following excerpt of the latest Genode-Labs newsletter with you: Join us at Genode's Hack'n Hike event ------------------------------------- In spring of 2012, we held the first instance of the Genode Hack'n Hike, which were wonderful days full of hacking, relaxing, brain- storming, and enjoying the magnificent nature of the Saxon Switzerland together. From the feedback we got from the attendees, it goes without saying that this should not stay a singular event, but rather be the prelude of a tradition. Hence, we have fixed the date for this year's Hack'n Hike: Begin: Wednesday, September 11 End: Monday, September 16 We extended the duration of the event over that of last year's. Whether you'd like to drop by for just a few hours, or you'd like to stay for the whole time, you are welcome to join in. Genode Labs will sponsor the accommodation. So don't worry too much about the costs. As of now, we haven't finalized the decision about the venue, but you can be sure that it will be a beautiful and romantic place, presumably in Saxony/Germany or Bohemian Switzerland in Czech Republic. If you have particular preferences regarding the accommodation or leisure-time activities, then the best time to get in touch with us is now. Also, if you plan attending, we'd greatly appreciate a short notice, which will help us with planning ahead. Please write to: hacknhike@...1... We at Genode Labs are looking forward to the gathering of the Genode community in autumn and would love to welcome you! ------ For the full newsletter, please refer to http://genode-labs.com/news/newsletter/newsletter-2013-05 Cheers Norman -- Dr.-Ing.

Genode Fiasco.OC kernel changes
by Daniel Waddington 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi, Can someone point me to the relevant Fiasco.OC kernel changes made by Genode that might prevent the following error... Could not assign parent interface to new PD unknown exception? This is from vanilla r56 of Fiasco.OC. I'd like to see if I can get r56 running on Genode (to help me fix other issues). Daniel

More mapping issues.
by Daniel Waddington 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi, I am still struggling with memory mapping issues. Unfortunately I cannot give a simple test case. We have a large memory hungry programming running on x86_64 Fiasco.OC. During the initialization of memory (using sub-rm dataspace and attach mappings) we suddenly (mid-way through) get "Ipc error 16 in pagefault from 0". Looking up error code 16, I see its L4_IPC_SEMAPFAILED which suggests that the implicit IPC send mapping of the flex page failed in the kernel. Is this correct? Kernel func map<Mem_space> is failing but I can't find the implementation to track it further. Anyone know where it is? Also, any advice on how to go about diagnosing this? Thanks Daniel
