synchronous bulk transfer.
by Mohammad Hamad 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Hi, I am trying to send big buffer using RPC call. to do that I used to divide the buffer and send it many time . I read about the synchronous bulk transfer, by using shared memory with the synchronous RPC. are there any samples about using this method. best

Uboot creation script fails
by Mark Albers 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Hi, i use Genode 15.05 with the corresponding toolchain. Now, i have a problem with the uboot creation script. For example, when i build the hello-tutorial for hw_pbxa9 platform (in a fresh build directory), i get this error: make[1]: Verzeichnis »/home/mark/genode_git/build/hw_pbxa9« wird verlassen child process exited abnormally while executing "exec [cross_dev_prefix]readelf -h $elf_img | grep "Entry point address: " | sed -e "s/.*Entry point address: *//"" (procedure "run_image" line 3) invoked from within "run_image $elf_img" (procedure "run_boot_dir" line 119) invoked from within "run_boot_dir $binaries" (procedure "build_boot_image" line 2) invoked from within "build_boot_image { core init hello_client hello_server timer }" (file "/home/mark/genode_git/repos/hello_tutorial/run/hello.run" line 44) invoked from within "source $include_name" ("foreach" body line 6) invoked from within "foreach include_name [get_cmd_arg --include ""] { # first check if the include name is absolute if {[string first "/" $include_name] == 0} { puts ..."

Changing the Genode directory layout regarding aSPECts
by Stefan Kalkowski 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hello, as discussed in the issue "Apply SPEC approach consequently to all repositories" [1], I have changed the directory layout of Genode's source tree accordingly [2]. The commit will probably enter the staging branch soon. Therefore, the question for all Genode developers arises, what needs to be taken into account. First, when you rebase to to the new directory layout, it is strongly recommended to fully clean your build directories before compiling again. Moreover, the top-level Makefile within the build-directories has changed. This should be no issue, as it is normally just a symbolic link to the Makefile within your Genode's source tree. After the change, when you add new code with aspect-dependent parts, which means parts of the headers and compilation units are chosen using SPEC-variables (e.g.: 32bit vs. 64bit, or arm vs. x86), that code should reside in a 'spec/<SPEC-VARIABLE-NAME>/' subdirectory from now on. I hope you are all fine with those changes. Until now, it didn't hit the staging or master branches. So if there are any strong concerns against it, feel free to express them now.

Xpra port?
by Jookia 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hey there, After disappearing and thinking for a while about how to have some kind of support for GNU/Linux sandboxes with seamless integration to the window manager. I've thought a lot about how the Qubes approach does it using shared memory and Xorg messages but this doesn't work over the network, so I'm starting to wonder if it'd be better to just use something like Xpra. I'm not sure how big the TCB of it is versus just passing X messages, but it shouldn't really be that bad if you only give it access to files shared with the sandboxed system, meaning it'd be counterproductive to break in to Xpra. Xpra also plans a Wayland port which might map well. Thoughts? Jookia.

Porting YSE5250 to base-foc

Hello Genode comunity, I'm trying port the yse5250 board to base-foc. I follow the guide proposed by Norman Feske and test the printf scenario, as shown in the serial output Fiasco.OC and servers run correctly, but when I try to run Genode throws an error.

Hi Martin, i'm on version 15.08 now and have created a new build directory. The error is still the same. I added the hello_tutorial repository, yes. Here is the output of genode-arm-readelf --version: GNU readelf (GNU Binutils) 2.25 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

More small questions
by Jookia 05 Sep '15

05 Sep '15

Hey again, Sorry for the single word titles. I don't have Genode installed at the moment, but I'm curious about some minor things happening in the Genode space. >From what I've seen it doesn't really have a proper command line shell that can administer the system interactively. Is this the case, how would one handle doing tasks like managing daemons, file systems, launching applications in a system tree? For instance in the future, if I wanted to use a web browser over Tor I'd somehow have to launch a Tor network service and then have a web browser use that network service. How would I accomplish that? In future I'd imagine having a system configuration file specifying a tree like this for my machine showing services, applications, file systems that are available to services, GUI launchers, etc to build up a compartmentalized system. How hard would it get Fiasco.OC to run a rich GNU/Linux system through trustzone? I've heard it's possible, but I'm not sure how it'd work in Genode. I'd really like to have something like to run slow virtual L4Linux systems for 'secure' applications and an untrusted rich system elsewhere. Though perhaps this is a bad idea, and if it's not doable base-hw will have to do. Cheers, Jookia.

Qt in file manager?
by Nobody III 05 Sep '15

05 Sep '15

I'm hoping to find time to write a file manager for Genode. Do you think I'm safe to use Qt? I'm not planning on showing previews at first, and if I decide to add previews, they will be rendered in a separate process, so the only untrusted data I see are the filenames. In this case, I think it's safe to say that Qt won't be able to be compromised by rendering plain text. What do you think?

seL4: does X server require Linux; hardware for VMs
by John Lee 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Hi I'd like to try running Genode on seL4. I wasn't expecting this to get into a release this soon so I'm very pleased to see it. Two questions, one re software, one re hardware: Software: For applications like firefox I read that it's currently necessary to run an X server. Does that X instance (and firefox) need to run on a Linux VM? Hardware: I read on the seL4 FAQ that to "run Linux on top of SeL4", I need: 1. Intel VT-x with EPT (standard by now I guess?) 2. an HPET [1] that supports MSI delivery [2] Re 2.: is all this integrated in Haswell processors? If yes, does Haswell support this? If no, does anybody know how to verify a motherboard supports it? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Signaled_Interrupts John
