Dear Genode community,
I am gradually digging into the details of the Genode framework and was thinking about compiling a Live-CD. My intension is to give unexperienced users a first impression of Genode by simply downloading an .iso image and either booting it into their real machine using a thumb drive or using an emulater like qemu/virtualbox. Please refer to my last post for the rationale behind it.
The good news is, that genode-world seems already to provide a set of software packages, which have been ported. However, I am currently under the impression, that genode currently is not capable of loading software modules at runtime. Instead, it appears to me, that all required software modules are linked into a large elf file, which is then loaded during boot time. Am I missing something crudential here or is loading of modules at runtime not yet implemented?
Regards, Florian.
Genode is capable of loading software at runtime, but the current standard behavior is to put everything into a large elf file for simplicity. I'm not aware of a good way to override that, but you shouldn't need to anyway.
I suggest you look at the Heeslicht scenario ( https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/2018) for more information on how to build a live Genode system.
