Further questions

[Peter Nguyen]

Hi Norman,

Thanks for your response. I was asking because for my project, I have  
implemented a sampling environment that runs at the Iguana level, and  
given there seems to be considerable work into genode, I was wanting  
to port it to genode. My sampling infrastructure is based on the  
iguana trace server. I'm thinking that it shouldn't be too difficult  
to port given that the amount of my code that uses Iguana is a very  
small percentage. The remaining code is L4 code.

If you could give me pointers as to things to look out for, or to give  
me a starting point in terms of porting, that would be great!!
