run/demo in VirtualBox
by Thomas Dundon 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hi, I cannot get the basic demo to work inside my VM. Here's my setup: - x86_64 machine running - Windows 7 running - VirtualBox 5.1.28 running - Ubuntu 16.04 My process within the Ubuntu VM was: - Installed the various tools to build (genode-toolchain-17.05, libsdl2-dev, etc) - Ran git clone to get Genode 17.08 - Ran *./tool/create_builddir linux BUILD_DIR=../build* - Changed *build.conf* to enable MAKE += -j4 - Ran *make run/demo* Everything builds fine but nothing significant happens. Here's the console output (post build): using 'core-linux' as 'core' using 'ld-linux.lib.so' as 'ld.lib.so' using 'linux_timer_drv' as 'timer' spawn ./core Genode 17.08 <local changes> 17592186044415 MiB RAM and 8997 caps assigned to init Warning: blocking canceled in entrypoint constructor <Demo just sits here until I press Ctrl-C> If I check the process list (before the Ctrl-C) I don't see anything other than *make*, *expect*, and *core*. After attaching gdb to the (unstripped) *core *process I see that one thread is sleeping in* _sig_rec->block_for_signal()* and another thread is sleeping in *_wait_for_exit_sem.down()*. The huge RAM allocation for init seems unreasonable, but I saw some similar output in other posts. Is the "blocking canceled" warning to be expected? Should I see the other processes listed in *launchpad.config* running? Just to be safe I've redone all these steps multiple times and even built the genode toolchain from source. What should I check next? Thanks, Tom

catching Socketfs Inaccessible exceptions
by Steven Harp 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Experimenting with the VFS socket plugin, I'm tripping over an exception that I'm not sure how to handle. This is demonstrated in the "netty_tcp" test, which launches two echo servers, one listening on port 80, and another on port 8080. Both servers launch and become operational on about 25% of runs (under x86_64, nova kernel, QEMU, user network); on the remaining starts, one of the servers succeeds, but the other fails like this: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE [init -> netty-server-8080] initialize server [init -> netty-server-80] initialize server [init -> netty-server-8080] sd=0 [init -> netty-server-8080] config: port=8080 read_write=0 nonblock=0 [init -> netty-server-8080] setsockopt: SO_REUSEADDR not yet implemented - always true [init -> netty-server-80] sd=0 [init -> netty-server-80] config: port=80 read_write=0 nonblock=1 [init -> netty-server-80] setsockopt: SO_REUSEADDR not yet implemented - always true [init -> netty-server-80] Error: plugin()->open("/socket/tcp/2/listen") failed [init -> netty-server-80] Error: _fd_for_type: listen file not accessible [init -> netty-server-8080] test in blocking mode [init -> netty-server-80] Error: Uncaught exception of type 'Socket_fs::Context::Inaccessible' [init -> netty-server-80] Warning: abort called - thread: ep [init] child "netty-server-80" exited with exit value 1 #+END_EXAMPLE Empirically, it appears that the server that gets past "setsockopt:..." first will become operational--the other server usually will not. The order seems to be non-deterministic. Its not clear how to catch the 'Socket_fs::Context::Inaccessible' exception in the netty server code, or even if that is an appropriate response. Suggestions? - Steve Harp

UEFI support for x86
by Edward Sandberg 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hello, I sent the following email to the sel4 mailing list but this may be a better fit. I built Genode 17.08 with run option "image/uefi" and platform option "sel4_x86_32". I have tried booting the resulting image on a variety of machines but am not getting the behavior I expect. The machines I have tried are: * Up board (a Windows compatible Atom-based system) * Dell M3800 laptop * Dell Latitude 7280 laptop * HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Server * Dell Optoplex 990 * Asus P9X79 WS Motherboard with Intel Core i7-3930K The furthest I have gotten was on the UP board, which only supports UEFI boot: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/emerging-technologies/intel… I saw serial output but no graphical output (see below). The other machines I tried to boot on didn't even give me serial output. The serial output seems to indicate that an attempt to create a framebuffer failed. Is this the correct build procedure? What hardware have you used to test UEFI boot? Does the trace below suggest any experiments to try? ***************************************************************** WARNING: no console will be available to OS Bender: Hello World.

ahci_drv default writeable?
by Steven Harp 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Noticed that in 17.08 (and 17.05) these examples failed w. x86/nova - run/libc_vfs_fs_fat - run/libc_vfs_fat apparently because: [init -> ahci_drv] read-only session opened at device 0 for 'test-libc_vfs -> 0' so e.g., mkdir fails with EPERM. Hacking libports/run/libc_vfs_filesystem_test.inc to add writeable="yes" to the "ahci_drv" component configuration: <config> <policy label_prefix="test-libc_vfs" device="0" writeable="yes"/> <policy label_prefix="vfs" device="0" writeable="yes" /> </config> suffices, but maybe this is not appropriate. Was the default policy intended to be writeable="yes" for this driver? // Steve Harp

VirtualBox with Networking
by Chris Rothrock 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

I have been able to make a working environment with Genode/NOVA/VirtualBox a single VM running TinyCore with networking enabled and can communicate across the network. So far, only on VirtualBox 4, 5 still has issues that I am still trying to work out that I will get into at a later time but my goal is multiple VMs with networking. With VirtualBox 4, I have successfully made two VM environments and both VMs see eth0, I can assign an IP address to each but neither VM can communicate outside their own VM. Unlike with the single VM, I was unsuccessful to get an IP via DHCP (hence why I used a static IP), they could not ping the other VM, they could not ping anything on the network to which they were attached. Is there a setting in the test.vbox file different than for a single VM mode that I need to make to make the bridge work for this? -- Thank You, Chris Rothrock Senior System Administrator (315) 308-1637

config syntax in hw_gpio_drv?
by Steven Harp 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

In Genode 17.08 (master) on rpi platform with hw (or foc) base, run/lxip_udp_echo seems to generate config XML that doesn't quite pass the syntax check: * * * genode build completed var/run/lxip_udp_echo/genode/config:31: parser error : AttValue: " or ' expected <resource name=\"RAM\" quantum=\"4M\"/> ^ var/run/lxip_udp_echo/genode/config:31: parser error : attributes construct error <resource name=\"RAM\" quantum=\"4M\"/> ^ var/run/lxip_udp_echo/genode/config:31: parser error : Couldn't find end of Start Tag resource line 31 <resource name=\"RAM\" quantum=\"4M\"/> ^ var/run/lxip_udp_echo/genode/config:32: parser error : AttValue: " or ' expected <provides><service name=\"Gpio\"/></provides> ^ var/run/lxip_udp_echo/genode/config:32: parser error : attributes construct error <provides><service name=\"Gpio\"/></provides> ^ var/run/lxip_udp_echo/genode/config:32: parser error : Couldn't find end of Start Tag service line 32 <provides><service name=\"Gpio\"/></provides> ^ Error: Invalid XML syntax in var/run/lxip_udp_echo/genode/config Makefile:309: recipe for target 'run/lxip_udp_echo' failed * * * The extraneous reversed virgules in the attribute values appear only for hw_gpio_drv: <start name="hw_gpio_drv"> <resource name=\"RAM\" quantum=\"4M\"/> <provides><service name=\"Gpio\"/></provides> <config/> </start> 1. Suggestions? 2. Is it reasonable to suppose this should run okay on RPI-version (v1,2,3?) hardware? // Steve Harp

Porting third-party code to Genode
by Jörg-Christian Böhme 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

My setup/environment: - Source: Branch: master commit 0adbd1ce2428dadffc61664d93ec394d5b0e6722 Date: Wed Aug 30 12:42:42 2017 +0200 - Target-genode-System: nova x86_64 - Host-System: genode-x86-gcc (GCC) 6.3.0 Ubuntu 17.04 QEMU emulator version 2.8.0(Debian 1:2.8+dfsg-3ubuntu2.3) Hi, I read the documentation about Native Genode port of a library from the gnode website[1]. It looks very easy to "create a port" of a library for genode. I started to port a library and I have realized what is meant by Chapter "Creating the build Makefile". This Chapter says, that I should create a build (Makefile) for the third party source code ? I was expected that the port mechanism from genode will execute the configure script (Cross compiling) of the third party just as the "source based" Linux/UNIX (FreeBSD/Arch Linux) systems does. I investigate for example how libssh is ported and I see that in genode/repos/libports/lib/mk/libssh.mk every source file are added. For such a small lib it is easy but for a bigger lib like Qt5, I see there are helper scripts to generate the port mk for genode ? I didn't use "Makefiles" in my projects. I'm a cmake user :-). So my knowledge about Makefiles are very poor. Maybe I missed something. My question: It is not possible to execute the "third party build system" to cross compile it for genode? My port idea/work: I didn't see any information about boost on the "Future Challenges of the Genode project"[2] or "Genode Porting Wishlist"[3] site, so I try to port boost to genode. Maybe somebody is also working on this? Cheers Jörg [1] http://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/porting_libraries [2] https://genode.org/about/challenges [3] http://usr.sysret.de/jws/genode/porting_wishlist.html

SDIO Interface for SDCard
by George Joseph 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Hi, I was trying to understand the sdio interfacing. Then I looked into the sdcard driver written for imx6. I was able to successfully built and run it on the platform. When I looked deeper into the code I see the sd host controller interface is written part of sd card driver. I was confused ,shouldn't the sdio driver including the DMA support be a independent service than coupled with a user space sd card service? Since sdio can be used for interfacing other modules like wireless,audio,etc, I believe it should be part of the core modules. I may be wrong about this. I would like to do the whole the sdio interfacing in Genode.More help will be appriciated. :) Thanks for the help Regards George +91-7674068356

Custom InputMethod for QtVirtualKeyboard
by Johannes Kliemann 21 Sep '17

21 Sep '17

Hi Christian, I tried to implement a custom InputMethod for the QtVirtualKeyboard. But I couldn't find any useful information on how to do this. Beside the Technical Guide [1] for the keyboard there seems to be no documentation on how to do this. I have implemented my custom InputMethod class in QML (based on the example) but I failed to find any useful information on how to activate it. The part Activating an Input Method [2] is not helpful at all since it only links to the class references of the InputEngine (which neither explain where or how to use the custom class). Do you have any idea? Regards, Johannes [1]: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/technical-guide.html [2]: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/technical-guide.html#activating-an-input-method
