Can use other root file system instead of ramdisk(ramdisk-arm.rd) ?
by Taeung 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hello , L4 hackers !!:-) Would you mind if I ask you other questions ? I've done booting "L4 linux + L4/Fiasco" on Freescale imx6q_sabre_sd. I'm using ramdisk of which name is 'ramdisk-arm.rd'. I've got the file from URL (os.inf.tu-dresden.de/download/ramdisk-arm.rd). But it is not enough to install and run X-window. There is not enough package. I really want to use 'apt-get' on L4 Linux. 1. Can is what I want possible on L4 linux ? 2. Can use other root file system instead of ramdisk(ramdisk-arm.rd) ? 3. Whatever packages which is put in a ramdisk, is it no matter ? If I put ubuntu packages in a ramdisk, is it fine? - Taeung -

Is wrong my kernel command line, on this situation ? (Booting L4 linux)
by Taeung 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hello, every l4-hacker. I've succeeded booting "Hello world + L4/Fiasco" on Freescale i.MX6q_sabre_sd because big help of Admed, Tim, Matthias. And then, I'm trying to boot "L4 Linux + L4/Fiasco" on my board. I've configured for L4 linux build. Such as.. |System type -> ARM system type (L4 Linux) Build type (Use ARMv7) | And then, I've successfully build it. I've did "make uimage E='L4Linux ARM' ..." ,so I've got uimage. And I try to boot it ,using 'uImage' and 'u-boot.bin'. But I did not boot it on my board. It was stoped at "l4linux | panic: going to sleep forever, bye" ==================== ... (eclipsis) Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... rootfs image is not initramfs (junk in compressed archive); looks like an initrd INITRD: Freeing memory. l4x: Checks passed. NetWinder Floating Point Emulator V0.97 (double precision) msgmni has been set to 126 io scheduler noop registered io scheduler deadline registered io scheduler cfq registered (default) L4 serial driver ttyLv0 at MMIO 0x1 (irq = 211, base_baud = 230400) is a L4 l4ser_shm: L4 shared mem serial driver l4cdds: No name given, not starting. brd: module loaded l4bdds: No name given, not starting. mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice TCP: cubic registered NET: Registered protocol family 17 Minicom2.6.2RAMDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 3072KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done.

Referentially I've used ramdisk file(ramdisk-arm.rd) and my kernel command line "setenv bootargs_mmc 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootwait rw video=mxcfb1:dev=ldb,LDB-XGA,if=RGB666 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24'". How do you think about that? Is wrong my kernel command line,on this situation ? - Taeung -

Hello, Tim I'm glad. Tim Your help save me !!! Thank you very much !!!! :-) I've succeed booting "L4 Linux + L4/Fiasco" on my board(Freescale i.MX6 Quad SABRE SD). After I readjustmy thread for booting, I will write document for booting it on my board. The document might help L4/Fiasco beginner or not, I'll share the document for their. Thank you again !! - Taeung - On 03/24/2014 07:33 PM, Tim Komarov wrote: > Hello, TaeWoong! > I've returned after the weekend. So, my congratulations!

Hello, l4 hacker. I'm trying to boot "Hello world / L4/ Fiasco" on Freescale i.MX6 Quad SABRE SD board(Cortex-A9, ARMv7). I'm using 'u-boot' and 'uImage'. So, i build uimage by "make uimage E=hello ~...". And i've try to booting it on Freescale i.MX6q_sabre_sd board. But i did not it because stoped at "Starting kernel ..." !! MMC read: dev # 2, block # 2048, count 8192 ... 8192 blocks read: OK ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 10800000 ...

Hi! Crypto Stick is an open source secure USB device for data encryption and authentication. OpenCoin is an open source system for anonymous cash. We (both projects) are aiming to collaborate on building a L4-based server system which would act as an eCash issuer server. Now, we got accepted at the upcoming Google Summer of Code 2014, which means that Google will sponsor a student working on this project during the summer with $5500. If this sounds interesting for you, please get in touch with us! Also, please share the word with fellow students. THE APPLICATION DEADLINE IS TODAY 19:00 UTC! Sorry for this last minute announcement. More details are available at: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/cryptostick/wiki/Ideas Best regards, Jan

L4 Fiasco's scheduling in Multi-Core
by Ganis Zulfa Santoso 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi l4-hackers, Suppose we have 2 cores (core 0 and core 1) and we have 2 tasks (task A and task B). And I assign all threads of task A to run in core 0 and all threads of task B to run in core 1. How L4 Fiasco's scheduler manages this? Will the tasks run together or they have to switch from one to another? >From what I understand, the tasks don't run together regardless which core they are located, is it correct? Thank you. Best regards, Ganis

Hello, L4 hackers. I have questions about booting "Hello world" on myboard. Please help me. I'm try to boot "Hello world + L4re + fiasco" on my board of which name is 'freescale i.MX6 Quad SABRE SD'(Cortex-A9,ARMv7). I built L4re and Fiasco. So, i got L4 build tree and fiasco image.
