error running fiasco-ux
by Lucyantie Mazalan 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Hi all, need some help here. I've been trying to use my fiasco-ux to load my module. Thing is, when I try to run the module with: ~/fiasco-ux# ./fiasco -l hello Killed This is what I got. I have copied down the needed binaries ( fiasco, irq0, sigma0, roottask ) in the fiasco-ux directory. Please help. Thanks.

hi all, i've been trying to load another l4 task using run-l4 in l4linux, but i've got error the error is -8(cannot a find module) here is my conf file #launch.conf verbose 0 modpath "(hd0,2)/boot/l4app" task "hello" and here is the cmd i run: run-l4 --fprov "BMODFS" "(hd0,2)/boot/l4app/launch.conf" here are few question: do i need to load run-l4 during boot time, in other words do i need to define it in menu.lst? do i need to load the task i would like to call using run-l4 during boot time?

thread.id.lthread inquiry
by hazwan 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

hello Currently im studying on how to build an application using fiasco/L4. Im very new to this subject and it requires me lots of fundemental issues concerning this topic. I need to go deep in the code ie:-the roottask/sigma0/kernel implementation. So far i had try some steps to aquire answers. One of them is by printing out a thread which is initialize as l4_threadid_t. I didnt call any sys calls (l4_myself() to that particular thread. So, what i had done is :- l4_threadid_t thread; l4_threadid_t pager; printf("%x\n", thread.id.lthread); printf("%x\n", pager.id.lthread); when i print this out, the thread will print out its id as 34 in hex. Meanwhile the pager will identify as 0 for its lthread id. The question is why is this happening? If i turn back around the code, it will still print out the thread as 34 for its id and pager is 0. Is it reading some garbage value from the memory or the roottask/sigma0/kernel will identify it as 34 only if we didnt initialize any system calls. I need to study this in depth due to my yearly project which highly involves fiasco/L4 as its platform. If it is applicable, can anyone show me which file(header/*.c etc..) that locates the number of 34 happens. Thanks. p/s: Im also thinking that this is a silly question as well. :-P -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/thread.id.lthread-inquiry-tp15950571p15950571.html Sent from the L4 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Good you have posted the source. I think the problem is that you need to get the right for creating new tasks first. Depending whether simple_ts is started or not you need to use l4ts_allocate_task2(0, &tid) or rmgr_get_task(num) before the l4_task_new. Then it should work.

L4Linux: pagefault at the beginning of BSS area
