I have started working with Genode, while I am interested in foc based development and it seems the Genode efforts also prefer foc as I have been trying run/demo for builds.
I would not go along with telling that we "prefer" base-foc as most of our scenarios run on all supported kernels. Prominent exceptions are support for hardware virtualization (only on NOVA and hw/Muen) and TrustZone (hw only). If you address ARM and x86 alike I'd suggest you try out base-hw.
I am facing a few problems. Some that makes sense as a developer, while some are new to me and definitely need some hints to move forward. I have encountered the following errors:
x86_64 (run/demo & run/hello):- Error: target 'core' does not exist. I was not able to figure out how to enable build core but it should have been there by default like other Genode builds.
This originates from a recent change in our framework regarding unifies build directories for all base platforms of a selected architectur. When running scenarios via "make run/<script>" you now have to select the kernel by setting the KERNEL option like follows.
make run/demo KERNEL=hw
Please refer to
https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/17.02#Unified_build_directori...
for further information.
pba9 (run/demo):- The mouse pointer does not work.
This is indeed strange. The nitpicker mouse pointer always works for me, but I had one test (in 10) were I could not interact with the scout window. Could you please run the scenario several times? Please test by clicking the Qemu window and moving the mouse afterwards. Do The scout buttons (e.g., forward/backward) change color when the mouse pointer hovers them?
pba9 (run/hello):- [init] Error: Uncaught exception of type 'Genode::Parent::Service_denied'
linux (run/hello):- [init] Error: Uncaught exception of type 'Genode::Parent::Service_denied'
Does the uncaught exception mean that the capability list is not configured properly? I am onto figuring out the build issue of core till your replies.
These errors were addressed by a recent commit
https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/commit/f6386c6ce197185df73d00a63c97d010...
By cherry-picking the commit or applying the patch manually the exceptions should vanish.
Please note that the current version of the Genode Foundation book reflects the development state of Genode 16.05. We plan to publish updates yearly and the next revision will be 17.05.
