My name is Peter new to Genode and just trying to run the vbox5_win10_64.run script, btw. any of the scripts in genode/repos/ports/run/ are giving me the same result. It seems that the building works fine but I get no kind of output. A help and some indication on my wrong'ings would be much apreciated. My execution command: make run/vbox5_win10_64 KERNEL=nova BOARD=x86_64 My "build.conf" file and the building output called "out" are attached. My work operating system is Linux Ubuntu 20.04.

The run scripts in repos/ports/run are our work horses for nightly continuous-integration testing and extensively tweaked for our requirements. For example, the first missing piece not documented in the run scripts that comes to my mind is the setup of the test machine that's expected by the test script. But, I'd expect a number of tiny little banana skins after this part is solved. Therefore, I suggest you learn more about Genode and VirtualBox in a more approachable way first (see below).

Nevertheless you may proceed with the scripts for the most simple VirtualBox test scenario, which is a direct boot to VirtualBox with one guest OS running on an Intel-based PC with AHCI controller and SATA disk. The test uses an ext2 filesystem on the 4th partition. This information can be read from several configuration files [2] [3] [4] which are Tcl scripts containing the Genode config, integration steps etc.

Please also have a look into [5] which is a plain VirtualBox configuration files that configures a dual-core VM with 8 GiB RAM and a virtual disk image file on the ext2 fs located at /win10.vdi with an overlay image file located at /ram/overlay_win10.vdi.

Also, you should setup a remote-controllable and TFTP-bootable test machine [6] [7].

My goal, create an mikrokernel with genode-framework starting 2 linux Virtualbox applications creating a simple communication between them.

The straightforward approach is to use Sculpt to configure your scenario at runtime. The online documentation is available here [1]. With Sculpt you can learn many aspects about Genode the easy way with the integrated GUI. Afterwards you may return to the basic low-level work with the run scripts.
