World switch in Trustzone for i.mx6
by chirag garg 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Hi all, I am working on i.mx6 processor to enable trustzone features, I am in the first phase of this objective, where I want to enable switching b/w Normal world and Secure world, I have successfully compiled the Genode code with trustzone specific changes for i.mx6. Is there any run script is available to check this switch notion ?? Regards Chirag Garg IIT Madras , Rise Lab

With Genode 14.08 'libc_fs' is deprecated and replaced by the VFS approach (see release notes). It was also removed from Genode. In order to use VFS you must link against 'libc' only and configure VFS in your config node. As an example have a look at 'repos/run/dde_linux/rump_ext2.run' and search for a <vfs> node.

Hashing on ARM platform
by David Goltzsche 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Hi everyone, I need cryptographic (hashing, at first) functions on my ARM platform (i.MX53 QSB). I found out that genode includes a portation of libcrpyto, but not for ARM: Skip library libcrypto because it requires x86 (btw: this message is not easy no spot, it should be highlighted, i think ;) ) The file libports/lib/mk/libcrypto.mk says: # # ARM is not supported currently (needs testing) # REQUIRES = x86 Commenting out that requirement leads to linking errors like: Library libcrypto MERGE libcrypto.lib.so /usr/local/genode-gcc/bin/genode-arm-ld: cannot find aes/aes_cbc.o: No such file or directory ... ... recipe for target 'libcrypto.lib.so' failed What would be the steps to port libcrypto for ARM? OR Is genode capable of creating hashsums natively? Regards David

Enabling the libc_fs plugin
by Swaminathan Ramesh 03 Oct '14

Hello Norman, We are trying to enable the rump kernel in Genode. However, we are facing a problem with libc_fs. We are able to locate it in the codebase, but it is not getting included for some reason. Is there any way to enable libc_fs? Thanks, -- Best regards, Swaminathan Ramesh

Hi Abhay, I assume you intended to mail to the developer list, therefore I respond there.

The VMM has a dedicated dataspace (piece of memory) that contains the register set of the TrustZone world. It can be used to bootstrap the VM, handle traps, or inject interrupts. > > Is there any similar work on this scenario? so that I can further refer it. Yes, there is. The most interesting reference for you shall be: http://genode.org/documentation/articles/trustzone including references to a sophisticated example, including the Linux kernel code. Moreover, there are a lot of threads in the archive of this mailing list, which dealt with the topic of TrustZone, tz_vmm, and the i.MX53 platform.

Para-virtualization support for ARM on Genode
by Praveen B 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Hi We are able to run Genode-14.08 on i.MX6 board. Now I am planning to add support for virtualization for Genode on i.MX6. As the processor is Cortex-A9, it does not have virtualization extensions. So I am planning to implement a hypervisor to run para-virtualized linux, similar to the one proposed in the following paper, http://systems.cs.columbia.edu/archive/pub/2014/03/kvm-arm-the-design-and-i… I am not sure that would work for ARMv7 as they have only tested for ARMv5. Can you suggest any other para-virtualization solutions preferred for the implementation of Genode. I saw L4Linux but it is a port of linux to L4Re and not to the kernel itself. On the other hand, SierraVisor and Xen are bare metal hypervisors. The road map for Genode 14.11 says virtualization support for Cortex-A7. I assume you will be using virtualization extensions and not a para-virtualization solution. Can you suggest which is the best place to start. Should I implement a VMM similar to tz_vmm server or should it be implemented in base-hw as VMM should be in supevisor mode and not user mode.

trustzone and application
by Abhay Amala 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Hi I use the tz_vmm example and can run Genode in the secure world and Linux in the normal world on i.mx53 qsb in parallel. And i can also run an application in the secure side (on top of Genode) using the tz_vmm script. I want to run a program in the normal world(Linux) and the program should get access to a service or data from an application running in secure world (Genode). How can applications in different worlds interact among themselves? thank you in advance regards, Abhay

ambiguous services of children
by David Goltzsche 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

Hi all, in my setup, i have a parent process with multiple children with IDs, lets say the are named child_1 to child_3. the parent recievces messages with an ID and should forward it to the child with the corresponding ID. Therefore all children announce the same service, lets say "child_communcation", to the parent. In order to avoid ambiguities, the parent process would have to reconfigure its route every time a message arrives. that means if message with ID 3 arrives, the route for the service "child_communication" must lead to child_3. this solution seems odd to me, am i missing a mechanism in genode that allows a parent to communicate with its children directly, when they all announced the same service? regards David
