Building device drivers with oskit10_support_l4env

[Jianjun Shen]

Hi,

Yes, I am a member of l4-hacker.

Thanks for your reply, though I would much prefer to
kown it earlier - I have worked on the problem for
several days, and I think I am near to solving it
(seeming to be sth. related to omega0).

My final goal is to run multiple l4linux instance on
disk. So I would like to know if coresponding l4lx
driver stubs are provided. Has l4ide ever been
designed with consideration to this?
I also plan to implement disk partition and a simple
file server. Do those components already exist? 
You mentioned "bddf" - what is it?

In fact, I knew about dde_linux, but I failed to find
more information and examples about how to use it, so
I previously chose oskit for its full support to
filesystems, drivers and network.

Thanks!
