Announcement: Sculpt OS version 24.10 released
by Norman Feske 11 Dec '24

11 Dec '24

[again, now with the correct subject] Hello everyone, it's my great pleasure to announce today's release of Sculpt OS 24.10: https://genode.org/news/sculpt-os-release-24.10 The new version features the highly anticipated support for multiple monitors, which was quite a challenging feat. In fact, it required a far-reaching redesign of Genode's GUI stack to make applications multi-monitor-aware, ensure the visibility of the pointer at all times, avoid increased CPU load on account of serving multiple output devices, and propagate DPI information from each monitor's EDID information right down to the applications. With these technical questions cleared, the remaining challenge was making the new abilities available to the user via both a convenient interactive user interface - nicely embedded in Sculpt's component graph - as well as text-driven configuration. You can find the new facilities covered in the updated documentation: https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-24-10#Multi-monitor_support Besides the added multi-monitor support, the new version benefits from all advancements of the Genode OS Framework since April, specifically the updated arsenal of Linux-based drivers (Wifi, Ethernet, Intel display, USB) to version 6.6.47, and the uncountable new niceties of the Goa SDK. We just made the new version simultaneously available for Intel PCs, the PinePhone, and the MNT Reform laptop. Seasoned Sculpt OS users can readily switch to version 2024-10-30 using the system-update dialog. New users are invited to fetch a bootable system image from our download page. https://genode.org/download/sculpt Thanks to everyone of our team for having developed, stress-tested, and polished the release as a concerted effort!

Terminal session raw and unbuffered
by Stefan Thöni 04 Dec '24

04 Dec '24

Hi Genodians I'm trying to use a Terminal session to provide access to a character device (TPM) under base-linux. The reason I'm not using a vfs it that implementing a File_system session server in my lx_chardev component would be unnessecarily complicated for this usage. The problem I encountered it that the vfs_terminal even in raw mode buffers read data thereby issuing longer reads than requested by the application. While this is fine for other more terminal-like usages it doesn't play well inbetween a character device and it's driver. I would suggest either not buffering reads in raw mode or adding an additional "unbuffered" config option. Which would be the preferred option? Whould such a change have the potential to be accepted upstream? Kind regards Stefan

Foundations book, try to write an .iso on an usb stick, won't work
by Paul Dufresne 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

2.4, page 28: As suggested by the arguments, the scenario is supplied to Qemu as an ISO image re- siding at var/run/demo.iso. The ISO image can not only be used with Qemu but also with a real machine. For example, creating a bootable USB stick with the system scenario is as simple as writing the ISO image onto a USB stick: sudo dd if=var/run/demo.iso of=/dev/ bs=8M conv=fsync I am pretty sure it will not work... iso are for DVD, not USB sticks. Guess build.conf need to be edited a bit to make it easier to select a .img by just choosing between two comments lines.

Announcement: Genode OS Framework version 24.11 released
by Norman Feske 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

Today, we proudly released version 24.11 of the Genode OS Framework. https://genode.org/news/genode-os-framework-release-24.11 This version delivers the long anticipated support for multi-monitor setups, which motivated an overhaul of the entire GUI stack, from the driver interfaces, over the GUI server(s), up to the application level. A second highlight is the added compatibility to platforms based on the i.MX8MP SoC, in particular the MNT Pocket Reform laptop. Those of you who kept an eye on our previous releases this year may have noticed the successive advances of our Goa SDK. The current release complements this work with a new book "Genode Applications" that puts Goa front and center for the development of applications for Genode and Sculpt OS in particular. The book can be downloaded for free at the https://genode.org website. The improvements of version 24.11 at a glance: - New book "Genode Applications" - Largely revised GUI architecture - Mirrored and panoramic multi-monitor setups - Tickless GUI server and display drivers - Atomic blitting and panning - Support for pointer grabbing - Device drivers and platforms - DDE Linux for i.MX SoCs updated to kernel 6.6 - Platform driver for i.MX 8M Plus - Sculpt OS enabled for the MNT Pocket Reform laptop - Reworked Wifi management - PC audio driver updated to OpenBSD 7.6 - AVX and hardware-based AES in virtual machines - Goa SDK targeting Sculpt OS 24.10 by default Enjoy the entire story as told by the release documentation: https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.11 I wish you a pleasant exploration of Genode 24.11, Norman -- Dr.-Ing.

missing content on index for my latest genodians.org post
by Pirmin Duss 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

Hello Genodians I pushed a new article to my genodian repository (github.com/trimpim/genodian. On the index page no content is displayed. This didn't occur to me while writing, as I always directly looked at the page I edited. I already tried to figure out, what is wrong, so I could push a fixup. I compared the new article to the old one and the title and the first paragraph are formatted about the same. Could anyone give me a hint what could be wrong with my article? Best regards, Pirmin
