I would suspect that this will work with your processor, but features like VT-x are specific to the processor model, so you should look up your processor's specs. Also, Firefox doesn't run natively on Genode yet, so you would have to run it in a Linux VM, which should also be running an X server and a window manager.

Hi
I'd like to try running Genode on seL4. I wasn't expecting this to get into a release this soon so I'm very pleased to see it.
Two questions, one re software, one re hardware:
Software: For applications like firefox I read that it's currently necessary to run an X server. Does that X instance (and firefox) need to run on a Linux VM?
Hardware: I read on the seL4 FAQ that to "run Linux on top of SeL4", I need:
- Intel VT-x with EPT (standard by now I guess?)
- an HPET [1] that supports MSI delivery [2]
Re 2.: is all this integrated in Haswell processors? If yes, does Haswell support this? If no, does anybody know how to verify a motherboard supports it?
