-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list, Yesterday evening, one of the designers from Italy gave a talk about the project at 31C3.

Mailing-list issues
by Christian Helmuth 29 Dec '14

Hello all, As you may have noticed Sourceforge had mailing-list during the last days. With a bunch of posts arriving this morning I hope the issue was fixed. See you in the other threads ;-) -- Christian Helmuth Genode Labs http://www.genode-labs.com/ · http://genode.org/ · /ˈdʒiː.nəʊd/ Genode Labs GmbH · Amtsgericht Dresden · HRB 28424 · Sitz Dresden Geschäftsführer: Dr.-Ing.

AHCI/part_blk
by Nobody III 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

I originally thought that the AHCI driver wasn't working, but my issue may be with the part_blk driver. The part_blk driver never starts, but AHCI announces service "Block". Any help?

Genode and GRUB2 on real PC hardware
by "Christian Böhme" 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hi all, yesterday seemed like a good day to give Genode another go, but this time for real, meaning not on QEMU but real hardware. Since the former try worked out-of-the-box last time, my assumption was that the same should apply to the latter. Alas, I failed horribly. Here's what I did (assume CROSS_DEV_PREFIX is appropriately set): make -C ⟨genode-dir⟩/repos/base-foc prepare make -C ⟨genode-dir⟩/repos/libports prepare PKG=x86emu ⟨genode-dir⟩/tool/create_builddir foc_x86_64 BUILD_DIR=⟨demo-build-dir⟩ uncommented REPOSITORIES += $(GENODE_DIR)/repos/libports in ⟨demo-build-dir⟩/etc/build.conf make -C ⟨demo-build-dir⟩ kernel make -C ⟨demo-build-dir⟩ run/demo Since I have no QEMU around and no immediate plans to install it, the latter will fail, of course. Then mkdir /boot/genode && cd /boot/genode cp ⟨demo-build-dir⟩/var/run/demo/genode/* . cp ⟨demo-build-dir⟩/var/run/demo/fiasco/* . cp ⟨demo-build-dir⟩/var/run/demo/boot/bender . where /boot is my grub's boot directory. Being on a vanilla Debian, the /boot/grub/grub.cfg can be extended by providing a /boot/grub/custom.cfg, which I derived from ⟨demo-build-dir⟩/var/run/demo/boot/grub/menu.lst Please see the attachment for its contents. Now, when booting, the actual module loading process seems to succeed (at least GRUB did not complain), but core ended up spouting ROM module "init" not present while attempting to construct object rom of type Rom_connection at ⟨genode-dir⟩/repos/base/src/core/main.cc:259. To me this implies that init isn't actually loaded. Anyone seen this before? Everything else being okay, I suspect there's something wrong with GRUB. Oh, and what's this ⟨demo-build-dir⟩/var/run/demo/boot/bender doing? It's a 32 bit executable even though anything else is 64 bit. Why is that? Cheers, Christian

Rpc argument for a binary array?
by unknown＠example.com 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Hi, Is there a mechanism for passing an array of 8_bit register values in RPC calls when using base-hw? I see the Rpc_in_buffer class but that's designed for string arrays not arbitrary binary value arrays. The use case is for implementing an I2C server which has multiple clients each of which implements a specific device on the I2C bus. I2C supports any length of data transfer but practically I don't see more than a dozen bytes being transferred in one contiguous block. I'm using 14.11. Thanks, Bob Stewart Sent from my android device.

Hey guys (particularly the German folks), just out of curiosity: Will anyone visit the 31C3 in Hamburg this year? Maybe we could have a chat then. Cheers Johannes

Adding Zynq platform support to base-hw
by Johannes Schlatow 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Hey, I just started adding support for the Zynq SoC to base-hw (see [1]). As I don't have any Zynq hardware available yet, I tried running this on QEMU 2.1.2; I compiled the run/hw_info target. After applying some printf debugging ;), I figured out that the program dies (i.e. QEMU freezes) during kernel initialisation in init_virt_kernel(). I therefore tried attaching gdb to QEMU's internal gdb server, however, it seems to ignore my breakpoints. Hence my question: Do you guys have any experience with low-level/kernel debugging on QEMU? Maybe I am missing something or QEMU is just weird? [1] https://github.com/ValiValpas/genode/commit/4e375384d635d06626f0b226ac14e21… Cheers Johannes

Hello, thanks to Justin Cormack and his team for making the video recordings of all the talks of their conference available. The talks (slides + videos) are available at the conference website: http://operatingsystems.io I had the pleasure to present Genode there. Here is a direct link to my talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr2h9eigpqA Cheers Norman -- Dr.-Ing.

USB Armory - an interesting platform for Genode
by Norman Feske 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

Hello, I just was made aware of a crowd-funding campaign for an open hardware platform called USB Armory, which would provide an intriguing playground for Genode: https://www.crowdsupply.com/inverse-path/usb-armory In short, USB Armory is an i.MX53-based computer in the form factor of a USB stick. It is meant for security applications such as VPNs, authentication tokens, and encrypted storage. It is based on the FreeScale i.MX53 SoC, which it is well supported by Genode, i.e., Genode can be used as secure-world OS besides Linux running in the normal world. Personally, I find the project interesting because it strives to be an 100% open platform, which includes hardware, software, and firmware. Hence, at Genode Labs, we already started investigating possible Genode-based applications for it. As of now, the campaign has reached about 55% of the funding goal. If you are interested in such a platform, please consider joining in to make it happen. Cheers Norman -- Dr.-Ing.
