Memory Page Fault
by Chris Rothrock 18 Jun '18

18 Jun '18

I have been having a problem with Genode/NOVA demo booting using a custom boot module we are developing ever since Genode 17.08 was released and I was hoping to get some help tracing down the problem on the Genode side with this issue. Listed below is the output of two boots of the same build of the demo (in this case 17.11), one without our custom SABLE bootloader, one with. Before 17.08, the hand-off from SABLE to the NOVA kernel was fine, Genode booted and the demo ran as it should have. Now I get PAGE FAULT errors. I also tried downloading the previous version, 17.05 and recreating this build but still get errors, and from what I can tell, this is because the latest NOVA port gets brought in so I believe the problem resides with the way that the NOVA kernel handles modules already in memory at load time of the kernel that is causing this page fault. Are there any thoughts or leads you can assist with in this? As a side note, this SABLE boot loader module loads the Linux kernel flawlessly.

depot package version requirements are too strict
by Nobody III 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Currently, if I modify a library or server to fix a bug or add a feature, I can't get other packages to use the updated version without modifying them also. This leads to two problems: 1. unnecessary installation of multiple versions of the same package (unnecessary downloading and disk usage) 2. awkwardness with applying modifications globally For example, if I fix an issue in libc, that fix cannot be cleanly applied to all packages that use libc. It is possible to iterate through all packages that depend on REPO/src/libc/VERSION and modify the version information for each one, but this is awkward and doesn't scale well. To make matters worse, this would have to be (partially) repeated each time a package is downloaded. A potential piece of a solution would be to allow packages to specify the oldest version they are backward-compatible with, e.g. let libc/2018-06-05 specify that it is compatible with libc >= 2018-05-28. For more flexibility, we could also allow packages to specify multiple dependency options, e.g. let noux-system depend on bash or bash-minimal. Also, we need some mechanism to allow cross-repo substitutions, e.g. let blarson/src/libc replace genodelabs/src/libc, or vice versa. For security reasons, there should be restrictions on which repos are allowed for substitutions, so untrusted/src/libc cannot replace genodelabs/src/libc. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Official release of Sculpt TC
by Norman Feske 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hello everyone, I'm happy and proud to announce the official release of the second incarnation of Sculpt OS. Sculpt for The Curious can be downloaded as a ready-to-use disk image: https://genode.org/download/sculpt The downloadable image is a live system, rescue OS, and installer all in one. Compared to earlier versions, it features a graphical user interface for common tasks like connecting to a wireless network. The actual fun happens in the text-based user interface of the "Leitzentrale", which empowers the user to shape the system live, and to inspect the system's state at any time. For detailed usage instructions, please refer to the accompanied documentation: https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-tc Cherrs Norman -- Dr.-Ing.

create recipe for ADA library

Hello all, I'm trying to create a recipe to build the ADA library as a package archive [1]. Building the library fails with the following error message: Library ada COMPILE a-except_c.o COMPILE gnat_except.o COMPILE s-secsta.o fatal error, run-time library not installed correctly cannot locate file system.ads compilation abandoned /home/pirmin/GapFruit/genode/repos/base/mk/generic.mk:83: recipe for target 's-secsta.o' failed make[6]: *** [s-secsta.o] Error 1 var/libdeps:42: recipe for target 'ada.lib' failed make[5]: *** [ada.lib] Error 2 system.ads is copied in to the source directory of the depot. An other point that doesn't look nice currently is the way used to obtain the location of the port sources [2]. Is there a way to get rid of the "../ports/" part?

There should also be no problem with using it for noux packages. I assume that there is something missing in your port description that makes select_from_ports fail. You can find a pretty comprehensive description of what is needed for select_from_ports to work with a given port next to its implementation in [1] (see also _lookup_port_hash_file in the same file). Did this help you? Martin [1] base/mk/util.inc

Hello, I am working to load Genode on a custom board. For the Sabrelite board, I have seen in the forums that the load address of the Genode image is 0x10800000. I have been successful with loading Genode on the Sabrelite board. Can someone tell me how I can find the similar load address for my custom board? To be able to boot Genode on it. Thank you.

my Sculpt Early Adopters experiences
by Guido Witmond 09 Jun '18

09 Jun '18

Hi Genodians, Last week I've played with the Sculpt EA system. It looks great. And with the new booting code, it runs on my hardware. It boots on my old Gigabyte H67MA-USB3-B3 mobo with a Pentium G620 processor and 16 GB RAM. I didn't connect any Sata disks yet. Built-in Intel video to VGA and DVI-D display. No RS232 output, regrettably. (Another box, a DELL optiplex 360 PC, does do RS232 after grub but lacks recognised display adapter and reboots). My experiences: Things that work: - booting, OK; - Leitzentrale OK; - Disk, network and debug log OK; - live reconfiguration of display from VGA to DVI OK; - wired network config OK; however the system does not respond to ping; - Deploy backdrop OK, 2048 game OK, noux OK. After that I had some less luck. - Some downloads seem to hang. It could either be out of RAM (config), or a lost packet that is not detected. I'm using the RAM-disk that gets to 64MB in size. (I remember, but could not reproduce) it going to 128MB - Expanding the GENODE-partition on the USB-stick makes it unbootable. The system can't find and start Grub anymore. This happened repeatable both with a Kingston 8GB USB2 stick as well as with a Sandisk 32GB USB3 stick. I haven't been able to test the virtual machine with debian payload due to the download errors. Questions: - is there a way to send the debug log via ethernet? - did I miss some configuration settings that made the downloads get stuck? Cheers, Guido.
