live CD + Plan 9
by syd bris 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi, When do you think the next live CD demo will be available? The Plan 9 Operating System was recently ported to the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. Meanwhile, Genode now works on the Pandaboard single-board computer. Plan 9 is compatable with the Inferno OS, while Genode works with other novel OSs. So, have you ever considered running the Plan 9 Operating System on Genode? Such multi-porting of Plan 9 could act to revitalise this unique OS - and may give Genode a wider audience.

by Christian Helmuth 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Today, we are happy to announce the new version of the Genode OS Framework, which denotes an important landmark: the ability to build Genode within the Genode environment leaving aside any kind of virtualization. And of course, there a many more improvements to explore in the fresh release: - Self-hosting Genode on Genode - Custom kernel platform - Support for ARM TrustZone - Support for OMAP4 - Support for Freescale i.MX - Device drivers - New device driver environment for the Open Sound System - New OMAP4 GPIO driver - Updated iPXE networking drivers - Platform support - Largely revisited platform support for Linux - NOVA updated and complemented - L4ka::Pistachio updated - Fiasco.OC updated to rev 40, L4Linux updated to rev 25 - Optimizations - lwIP update and performance improvements The whole story is described in the release notes: http://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/12.11 Best regards and enjoy -- Christian Helmuth Genode Labs http://www.genode-labs.com/ · http://genode.org/ https://twitter.com/GenodeLabs · /ˈdʒiː.nəʊd/ Genode Labs GmbH · Amtsgericht Dresden · HRB 28424 · Sitz Dresden Geschäftsführer: Dr.-Ing.

L2 cache
by Vasily A. Sartakov 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi there. Inspired by article about Genode and Pandaboard, we have tried to turn on L2 cache on same board. Two patches are attached. One of them - new L2 features for foc kernel, extracted from linux and u-boot, the other one - small example for testing cache. This example show increasing performance on memory operations with block sized more then L1. ( We made 4 tests: without L2, block size equal L1, block size equal quarter of L2; with L2 for same blocks) Based on this I make assumption what L2 work correct. But USB host driver is stuck on boot. There were problems of opposition L2 and USB, something has changed? Thanks. -- Sartakov A. Vasily

mke2fs freezes with device-mapper device
by Timur 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Hi! mke2fs with simple block device (l4linux + atapi drv) work's correctly, but if i create encrypted device with cryptsetup, open it (there device mapper file created) and try to create file system (on dm-device) using mke2fs then system freezes(infinitely write to device). I found that problem in fsync call at unix_flush(io_channel channel) function (mke2fs_source/lib/ext2fs/unix_io.c). Help me to solve this problem) .run file attached initrd with cryptsetup - https://github.com/shomich/files/blob/master/initrd.gz -- Galiullin Timur

env() function at different places returns different addresses
by jaeyong yoo 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hello, Genode I'm trying to understand how env() and env()->parent() work from the source code. First, I find the body of env function located at: genode/base/src/base/env/env.cc and looks like this: namespace Genode { /* * Request pointer to static environment of the Genode application */ Env *env() { /* * By placing the environment as static object here, we ensure that its * constructor gets called when this function is used the first time. */ static Genode::Platform_env _env; return &_env; } } env() function looks like, at namespace Genode, it returns the pointer of singleton object _env (static Genode::Platform_env _env). But, when I call env() at different places, it returns different addresses. For instance, - at genode/base/src/core/main.cc - at dde_linux/src/drivers/usb/nic/nic.cc, env() function returns different addresses like the following - at genode/base/src/core/main.cc, it returns 801f01a0 - at dde_linux/src/drivers/usb/nic/nic.cc, it returns 10b716c. For me, it is very strange, because both functions returns the address of a singleton object _env. I think I miss some points and appreciate if you fill the gap. And, one more thing: I was trying to print some debug message at Env *env() function like the following. Env *env() { /* * By placing the environment as static object here, we ensure that its * constructor gets called when this function is used the first time. */ static Genode::Platform_env _env; PDBG("Genode::env() function called"); // my debug message return &_env; } And, when I run the genode, it always halt at core and child init is not running. Do you have any clues? Thanks always, Jaeyong

Genode + panda es (rev-b2),
by Ali Nehzat 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi, I recently came across this project and have been playing with it all weekend.. So far it's very impressive! I've finally managed to get run/demo up and running on my pandaboard and I was wondering if someone could please assist me with the following questions & observations? 1. I had to add REPOSITORIES += $(GENODE_DIR)/dde_linux to etc/build.conf in order to get everything to build properly, otherwise make would throw an error at devices/usb. Is this correct? 2. If I close any of the children applications using the 'x' button in launchpad I get the error below and everything hangs. I had a little look at the code and the forums and while I understand the current state of affairs I was wondering if there is a way around this problem such that way things wouldn't hang so abruptly? unmapping of managed dataspaces not yet supported no RM attachment (READ pf_addr=400fe990 pf_ip=80018bb8 from 24)Assertion failed: c File: /home/ali/tools/genode/base-hw/src/core/kernel.cc:1991 Function: void Kernel::do_submit_signal(Kernel::Thread*) 3. Nitpicker gets noticeably unresponsive when a new process is being launched. What's the reason behind this in layman's terms? My hunch is that this is due to nitpicker and not related to the core but I just wanted a bit more detail if possible please. 4. While probably not related to genode, does anyone know how I can get the reset button on the pandaboard to work properly? Right now it looks like it resets the board, but U-boot does not come back up again. I'm currently using the precompiled version from your repository. Thanks in advance! Ali,

base-foc: contrib compile errors
by Martin Stein 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi, I have an obscure little error that kept me from running Genode with base-foc. I have a freshly cloned Genode repo on the master branch with a freshly 'make prepare'd base-foc/contrib. The build dir is also freshly created and not modified (no 'MAKE+=j' or something). I'm using Linux 3.0.0-23 x86_64 and GCC 4.7.2 and i already built with FOC on GCC 4.6.x some time ago. The error: [ "222" -lt "218" ] && \ CPP_ARGS="-DMAXPAGESIZE=0x1000 -DCOMMONPAGESIZE=0x1000 -DCONSTANT(x)=x"; \ cpp -nostdinc -include /home/hyronimo/LokaleDaten1/GenodeLabs/genode/test/base-foc/contrib/l4/pkg/ldscripts/generic.h \ -Wno-trigraphs -Ui386 -P $CPP_ARGS /home/hyronimo/LokaleDaten1/GenodeLabs/genode/test/base-foc/contrib/l4/pkg/ldscripts/ARCH-arm/main_dyn.ld main_dyn.ld cc1: error: missing argument to "-P" led me to 'base-foc/contrib/l4/pkg/ldscripts/Makefile' where %.ld: $(PKGDIR)/ARCH-$(ARCH)/%.ld $(SRC_DIR)/Makefile $(SRC_DIR)/generic.h -@$(GEN_MESSAGE) $(VERBOSE)[ "$(LDVERSION)" -lt "218" ] && \ CPP_ARGS="-DMAXPAGESIZE=$(MAXPAGESIZE_$(ARCH)) -DCOMMONPAGESIZE=$(COMMONPAGESIZE_$(ARCH)) -DCONSTANT(x)=x"; \ cpp -nostdinc -include $(SRC_DIR)/generic.h \ -Wno-trigraphs -Ui386 -P $$CPP_ARGS $< $@ checks the LD version that is 222 and not 218 in my scenario, thus CPP_ARGS is empty. But even with a not empty CPP_ARGS i get the error. Thus i removed anything before the cpp-call and inserted the CPP_ARGS directly, one times with the 222-version and another with the 218 version. Now the build was going on until this came up: /usr/local/genode-gcc/bin/genode-arm-ld:/home/hyronimo/LokaleDaten1/GenodeLabs/genode/build.test/l4/lib/arm_armv7a/main_rel.ld:1: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression /usr/local/genode-gcc/bin/genode-arm-ld:/home/hyronimo/LokaleDaten1/GenodeLabs/genode/build.test/l4/lib/arm_armv7a/main_rel.ld:1: syntax error that was caused by comments that were preceeded by '#' instead of '/*', thus i removed all of these faulty comments and now the demo builds and runs fine. I'm a little confused with this, has anybody a hint for me?
