Hello l4-hackers, I get an error when trying to compile, respectively linking my program. /opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2014.03_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld: cannot find -lld-l4 make[3]: *** [myProg] Fehler 1 My Program does not include this lib. It comes from the L4-make process (prog.mk). I have already compiled smaller programs, without problems. BTW before that missing lib error, i get a lot of "multiple definition of...". Any ideas? I use Debian 7 32bit. Thanks

I share a document to access HW on L4 Linux.

Thank you L4 Hackers. You have help me in securing Ethernet on L4 Linux. So, I succeeded it. I’m particularly grateful to Martin Schröder, Wei jin, Adam Lackorzynski, Matthias Lange. Although there is already a document 'L4 Runtime Environments : Io, the Io server' a link of which is http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4Re/doc/io.html, I made a guide document for accessing HW on L4 Linux because of ethernet example. (I've used ARM platform Freescale i.MX6 Quad SABRESD ) This document is https://www.dropbox.com/s/abj9ao5uk9r3w72/The_Guide_to_access_HW_on_L4Linux… I don’t know whether this document can help someone in accessing HW on L4Linux. But I want to share this document in order to repay for l4hackers's kindness. - Taeung -

Do L4 Linux lack source code about Freescale i.MX6 Quad ?
by Taeung 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hello , L4 hackers I always appreciate L4 hackers. I've succeed boot "helloworld + L4/Fiasco" on Freescale i.MX6q_sabre_sd. So, I've try to build L4 linux (|Repository : svn co http://svn.tudos.org/repos/oc/l4linux/trunk l4linux|). I've configured for build L4 Linux such as.. ====================================================== System type ---> ARM system type (Allow multiple platforms to be selected) Multiple platform selection ---> ARMv7 based platforms (Cortex-A, PJ4, Scorpion, Krait) Build type Freescale i.MX family Freescale i.MX support ---> i.MX6 Quad/DualLite support ====================================================== But I've meet errors even so often. such as .. 1. ERROR: CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT must not be enabled. => So, I've force to change CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT=y to =n . 2. irq.c:16:26: error: 'L4X_NR_IRQS_V_DYN' undeclared here irq.c:46:14: error: 'L4X_IRQS_V_DYN_BASE' undeclared and irq.c:48:14: error: 'NR_IRQS_HW' undeclared => So, I've included "#include <asm/generic/irq-vectors.h>" and "#include <asm/mach-arm/generic/mach/irqs.h>". 3. l4.c:57:13: error: 'L4X_IRQS_V_STATIC_BASE' undeclared ...etc. => So, I've included "#include <asm/generic/irq-vectors.h>" and "#include <asm/mach-arm/generic/mach/irqs.h>". 4. drivers/built-in.o: In function `clk_disable': clk.c:867: multiple definition of `clk_disable' arch/l4/built-in.o:/home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/arch/l4/kernel/arch-arm/l4.c:73: first defined here drivers/built-in.o: In function `clk_enable': clk.c:919: multiple definition of `clk_enable' arch/l4/built-in.o:/home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/arch/l4/kernel/arch-arm/l4.c:65: first defined here make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 => So, I delete this lines in l4linux/drivers/clk/clk.c. 7. undefined reference to `__pv_phys_offset' from signal.c , init.c, mm.h ....etc. My question is.... Is it's problem that my config is wrong or l4 linux lack source code about Freescale i.MX6 Quad ? * Refer to > /home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/arch/l4/kernel/*irq.c* /home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/arch/l4/include/asm/generic/*irq-vectors.h* /home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/arch/l4/kernel/*pm.c */home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/arch/l4/kernel/arch-arm/*l4.c** */home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/arch/l4/l4lxlib/generic/*irq_gen.c* /home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/drivers/clk/*clk.c */home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/arch/l4/kernel/arch-arm/*signal.c */home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/arch/l4/mm/arch-arm/*init.c */home/taeung/workspace/l4linux/include/linux/*mm.h *

Documentation of Sched_context
by Valentin Hauner 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hi, what exactly is represented by a Sched_context? 'sched_context-fixed_prio.cpp', for example, contains members called '_prio' and '_quantum'. That would suggest that a Sched_context is a schedulable object like a task or a thread. However, the file mentioned above defines some sort of ready queue, too. That would indicate that a Sched_context is some part of the scheduler that organizes the schedulable objects in a data structure? Where are all those classes documentated? Using the search box, the official documentation (http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4Re/doc/index.html) does not offer any information about these. Best regards, Valentin Hauner

Some confusing code of the kernel
by Yuxin Ren 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hi, Now I am learning the kernel code of Fiasco. But as I do not know much about C++, I feel confused about some code. In the file obj_space-virt.cpp, we have such code EXTENSION class Generic_obj_space : Obj_space_virt<Generic_obj_space<SPACE> > And similarly, in the file obj_space-phys.cpp, we have EXTENSION class Generic_obj_space : Obj_space_phys<Generic_obj_space< SPACE > > 1. What's the meaning of these tow line code? Does it mean that the class Generic_obj_space inherit from both class Obj_space_virt and class Obj_space_phys? 2. I note that class Obj_space_virt and Obj_space_phys have some methods with the same name, such as lookup_local method. When such a method is called, how can I know which class is invoked? Thanks a lot.

[Question] How do I do to secure LCD on L4 Linux ?
by Yeongchan 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi, l4hackers I'm try to securing LCD on L4 Linux using Freescale i.MX6Q SABRESD board. I succeeded in securing Ethernet on L4 Linux. But I don't yet secure LCD on L4 Linux. LCD(HSD100PXN1) is connected by LVDS. I've modified as below.. 1.' .io' I've added LDB control register address to '.io' file. 2. 'mach_setup.c' (l4linux/arch/l4/kernel/arch-arm/mach_setup.c) I've added code for LVDS. Qusetion 1. Did I do wrong modification ? Qusetion 2. Must I do something outside of that ? How do I do to secure LCD on L4 Linux ? If you give a bit hints me, I would appreciate it .

It does not work from the serial line out of the box as far as I know. Please have a look at the x86-fb.* example in l4/conf/examples and start the client using the same method. This will allow it to receive keyboard input. Instead of the ex_spectrum... example use fbterminal to start with mag using (for example) the following lines: local c = { fb = mag_caps.svc:create(L4.Proto.Goos, "g=800x600"), term = l:new_channel():svr() }; l:start({ caps = c }, "rom/fbterminal"); And then start the clntsrv-client in the terminal using (again, for example): l:startv({ caps = { calc_server = calc_server}, log = c.term:m("ro") }, "rom/ex_clntsrv-client"); Best regards, - Marcus Haehnel

Hi, Where is the code around kernel entry, including both l4Re and kernel? What is the register format of system call in Fiasco? Thanks a lot. Best
