Good afternoon everyone!
I am currently trying to run Genode in 64bit mode on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (V1.2), therefore using the newest available Release (19.05) with the accompanying tool-chain, compiling it on a Ubuntu 18.04.2 machine.
The compilation process configured for the "rpi3" board with the "foc" kernel completes without any issues and the resulting elf binaries can also be executed in QEMU (4.0.0), completing the hello_tutorial with full output and no issues.
However when I try to use the same binary with the mentioned hardware [0] the output of the UART repeatably stops before the "Hello from Startup::stage2" message, which to me indicates that it can not successfully begin to execute the Kernel as in QEMU.
Is this to be expected, related to the UART drivers, or am I missing something in the compilation/preparation process?
If there is any additional information needed please tell me.
It's great you are interested in trying Genode on RPI. However, you should know that supporting model 3 (and any other then RPI1) and supporting 64bit ARM are both currently a work in progress.
I don't know exact state that is in 19.05 regarding running on FOC but there is a commit in master afterh 19.05 release that updates FOC to newer versoin [1]. Maybe if you try with latest master you'll get better results.
In current staging there is initial support for base-hw running in 64 bits mode but as far as I know only single core is currently started. This work is done by Stefan Kalkowski and maybe he will somehow correct my statement.
Device drivers for other peripherals probably haven't been tested on Rpi3 in 64bits mode yet. Currently I'm trying to prepare my work for rpi3 32bit mode [2] so it can be merged to Genode. Some changes there are invasive and break other targets so some work is needed. State of this branch is quite well described in [3] if you're interested.
