fs_query troubles
by Rumen Mitov 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Hello, I was following this article on Genode's VFS (http://genodians.org/m-stein/2021-06-21-vfs-1), but I cannot get the first example run script to run. I get the following runtime error, on which I could not find any information online: [init -> fs_query] Error: failed to watch '/'. I have attached the run script below for convenience; the platform I ran it on was x86 KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux. Please note that the build phase does not output any errors. Any help and tips will be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Rumen

Re: Discourse forum?

Hi Norman, 1. This is a good idea. I wanted to point out that Discourse offers free services for FOSS projects (and in fact, I use it too): https://free.discourse.group It might be worth checking this out as a starting point! 2. Depending on the load, I can volunteer to mod. Please let me know. Best,Arta

Genode Contribution Ideas
by Zachary Zollers 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hello Genodians, I have spent the last few months familiarizing myself with the base API and creating some sample projects. While I am relatively new to Genode, I had a few ideas during my initial exploration for areas to which I might contribute. [1] When I was just starting out, my biggest challenge was the build system. While going through some of the basic examples / demos, I developed a rather simplistic Nix wrapper around the Genode build system (see [a]). Despite its simplicity, it greatly sped up my development time. For those that aren't familiar, Nix is a language for creating reproducible builds (see [b]). I was able to get several of my co-workers spun up on my projects in a single command. Since Nix has a docker image, creating development container images for those that did not already have Nix was trivial. I think there is a lot of potential here for decreasing the barrier to entry for playing with Genode demo scenarios, and generally making Genode builds more reproducible. In my cursory research, I came across at least one past attempt at porting the Genode build system to Nix and vice versa (see [c]), as well as a mailing list discussion from almost a decade ago (see [d]). Has anyone continued these efforts? If no one is currently working on this, would it be something that others would be interested in using? I have my own ideas for how I would implement this, but I would like to get input from more experienced members of the community. [2] I also want to ask about system composition abstractions. XML ROMs make sense as a runtime representation since they are easy to parse, but they make it difficult to write complex system configurations by hand. Are there any current efforts to create build and/or runtime abstractions for system composition? From my naive perspective, this also seems like a wonderful place to introduce a high-level package manager to create and deploy modular subsystems (if one doesn't already exist). I also wonder if there are any opportunities here for formal modelling and analysis of a configuration. [3] Finally, I want to ask about any previous or planned work to formally verify the correctness of important Genode components (e.g, core, init) and the Genode API. Are there any challenges that make this infeasible? There are several follow-up questions I would have before going in this direction, but I would once again like to get input before adding my thoughts. To summarize: 1. Has anyone been working on porting Genode to Nix (or vice versa)? 2. Is anyone working on a build and/or runtime abstraction for system composition? 3. Is there any ongoing or planned work toward formal verification of Genode components (e.g., core, init, etc.)? I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts! Best, Zachary Zollers [a] https://github.com/zgzollers/nixpkgs-genode [b] https://nixos.org/ [c] https://discourse.nixos.org/t/genodepkgs-extending-nixpkgs-nixos-to-genode/… [d] https://lists.genode.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@lists.genode.org/me…

USB session and alt_setting URB
by alice.domage＠gapfruit.com 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Dear Genodians, I am currently working on a USB driver. I am wondering if in the `Usb::Interface::Alt_setting` constructor, the parameters `iface.index().number` and `iface.index().alt_setting` are inverted? According to the `Usb::Device::Urb` constructor, the interface index seems to come second. If I invert those parameters, the correct interface is selected. Otherwise, the request fails. Best, Alice

Genode at FrOSCon 2024
by Johannes Schlatow 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Hi everyone, I'm cheerful to inform you that there is going to be a Genode booth at this year's FrOSCon: FrOSCon Free and Open-Source Software Conference August 17th and 18th in Sankt Augustin (Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg) https://froscon.org You are invited to meet us (Stefan Kalkowski, Christian Helmuth, Norman Feske and Johannes Schlatow) at our booth. Of course, we will bring along various devices to exhibit Sculpt OS in all its flavors. You may also grab a hard copy of the current Sculpt OS guide, Genode Foundations or Genode Platforms. We're looking forward to meeting you there! Cheers Johannes

Genode IDE ?
by John J. Karcher 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Hello Everyone, Does anyone use an IDE for developing in Genode? If so, which one? How do you like it? Do you have any configuration and/or usage hints you can share? If not, are you interested? What is your favorite IDE candidate? I don't have any experience with integrating a new platform into an IDE, but it doesn't seem like it should be an insurmountable task (especially for someone who knows what they are doing :^) ). And it seems like it would make it easier for newcomers to explore the APIs. Just curious... Happy Sculpting! -- John J. Karcher devuser(a)alternateapproach.com

Proposal: Change to Markdown format instead of GOSH
by Jack Curran 29 Jul '24

29 Jul '24

Here is my corresponding GitHub issue to track the progress, discussions or changes/commits made in regards to this proposal: https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/5303 I propose that Genode adopts Markdown instead of GOSH. Markdown has become the standard format for nearly all Open Source projects and Git hosting sites. GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and Codeberg/Forgejo all use Markdown, none support GOSH format. I can read Markdown in GitHub repositories using my Android phone with the GitHub app. I cannot read GOSH files on a phone or tablet. This makes it harder to read correctly rendered GOSH files compared to Markdown. If I want to read a rendered GOSH document(not in plain text), I must clone the Genode & GOSH repo, install GOSH & TCL/TK, export the GOSH files to HTML or LaTeX from the command line, then view in PDF or HTML viewer. This is not simple compared to Markdown which is rendered natively on almost any device. FOSS is a collaborative community. To make an open source project successful, It is important to use common formats and tools so the community can collaborate easily. The higher the barrier to entry, the less likely it is for people to bother contributing. Switching to Markdown does not lose the benefits of LaTeX. The Git hosting sites as listed above, support inline LaTeX rendering within Markdown documents for mathematical expressions and diagrams. Markdown is used on these Git hosting sites for writing documentation, wiki, comments, issues, README, blogs and web pages etc. Having an appealing looking GitHub repository is important as it could be the first time a user encounters the project, thus setting their first impressions. If using GOSH, which isn't rendered correctly, they may not decide to look further into the project as it looks unappealing. Most users won't try to learn or use GOSH because it is not a portable skill or format outside of the Genode projects. I would be happy to contribute by working on converting GOSH files to Markdown format. I have already converted all 9 README files of the 9 public Genodelabs GitHub repositories to Markdown. I could continue doing this. However I don't want to waste my time doing something that wouldn't be accepted by the Genode project. There is an automatic way to convert all the GOSH documents to Markdown. First, export GOSH documents to HTML or LaTeX. Then use a HTML or LaTeX to Markdown converter, then it will be automatically written to native Markdown. Thus saving manual labour. These tools can be used to convert from HTML to Markdown format automatically: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc (This one can convert from LaTeX or HTML to Markdown) https://github.com/showdownjs/showdown https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown
