Hello

Firstly, thank you for patiently replying to our queries and debugging issues so far.

We're trying to port Genode onto an i.MX6, which we've realised is no easy task. Our initial approach to this was to tweak existing i.Mx53 files and make corresponding changes (arm cortex a9, created imx6 related folders in include). As pointed out to us by Stefan, this was completely off track as the memory layout may be mixed up (or many more issues).

Here's a brief reboot of our attempt:

1. edit create_builddir to add a rule for imx6 board and added build.conf.hw_imx6 in builddir folder.

2. modify board_base.h in base/include/platform/imx6/drivers and fill with addresses by referring to the imx6 reference manual. (We also added CORTEX_A9_CLOCK and private memory base)

3. read through the Makefile and added spec-hw_imx6 and spec-platform_imx6 respectively.

4. created imx6 folder with files in os/include/platform/imx6 as well. (All with imx53 as reference)

Make:

Since the drivers for imx6 would take a long time to code, we are NOT running demo.run. We tried to build hello.run (without building drivers/timer) according the instructions given in your site.

We're getting the following error:
