Dynamic creation and passing of IPC channels
by Robert Kaiser 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hi all, I have two tasks running and communicating through an IPC connection (basically the clntsrv demo). Now I would like to extend this a bit: Using an ipc_call(), the client (actually: multiple clients) should be able to register with a server to receive a wakeup IPC at individually different points in time in the future. (First, flawed idea to do this was to *not* use the combined reply_and_wait call on the server side but instead to only do a wait() call and then postpone the … [View More]

by panton 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Hello Hackers, I am trying to run the example on l4/examples/sys/vm-tz on my imx53 qsb. I get something running but I am pretty sure it is not correct. I have found a message called "Full virtualization with Trustzone" that make me wonder several questions and I hope you can help me. 1- The vm-tz example is supposed to run a L4Linux on NS world. What I don't understand in which format should be the linux-image (or any other app you want to run). I use a gz compress linux image (the same … [View More]

by Alexander Aring 08 Nov '13

Hi all, I like to implement two processes(if this is the correct word for l4). I want to implement two elf binaries, each of them have a main function. These two processes should communicate over IPC. Is this possible? I have in my modules.list: entry krusty kernel fiasco -serial_esc roottask moe rom/krusty.cfg module foo ... so my init process is 'moe' which should start one than more processes, how can I do that if it possible? In l4 examples of 'ipc' I only saw solution with threads, is … [View More]

about the snd-base/hot-spot of flexpage mapping
by 冯希顺 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

hello everbody. I have a question about the snd-base/hot-spot of flexpage mapping feature. in many l4 documents, there are a lot of words about the snd-base/hot-spot concept, it seem that are a complex mechanism to calculate the send base when the sender's flexpage have different size compares to receiver's flexpage, I have read a lot of documents(l4 user manual/l4 reference manual etc.) about this mechanism, but I can not figure out it... Could you tell why l4 needs this mechanism, and what … [View More]

some question bout L4 memory management
by yakijahn 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Hello L4 hackers Now a days I am studying the memory manage Mechanisms of fiasco kernel and L4RE, and I have some questions: 1) I see that when a process need some memory, a dataspace will be invoked and MOE will retrieve pages from alloc_list as kernel mapping sender, and attach region to region map. if process free a region of memory , the region will be dettached from region map and link the memory back to alloc_list, right? The problem I hold is when and how memory be recycled … [View More]
