AW: Learning and Hacking L4

[Christian, Martin, OPEE45]

Hi,
there is a draft of a L4 User Manual for the X2 API implemented by Karlsruhes and NICTAS L4 kernel. And there are lessons in Karlsruhe and New South Wales about L4 - based on the X2 API again. I suppose there is also a lesson in Dresden which uses Fiasco and is based on the N2 API.

I the API things are confusing to you, forget them for now. All you need to know is, if you look at the courses in KA or NSW, the functions you call for Fiasco might differ a bit.

These are the links:
-> University of Karlsruhe
   (http://i30www.ira.uka.de/teaching/courses/lecture.php?courseid=130)
-> Teaching material from University of New South Wales
   (http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9242/06/lectures/)

And I've attached the User Manual from NICTA.

Cheers,

Martin.

Hi Coly,

I've read through the X.2 spec and some of the other papers that
looked like they might be useful. Unfortunately, they are not really
helpful to me. Or, perhaps it is better to say that they don't seem to
paint a full picture.

What I think would really be helpful is the L4 System Programmer's
Manual. I've waited for it to materialize for years now, but it still
hasn't appeared. Do you have any particular papers to suggest? Does
you know if/when the System Programmer's Manual will be released?

Regards,
JD
