dma memory mapping
by Chen Tian 17 Aug '12

I'd like to allocate some physical memory for a device's DMA. Do I need to use some special flags in l4_task_map? Thanks.

input signal

hi >Why do you need the IRQ in L4Linux then? Who is driving the touchscreen? That >instance should handle the TS IRQ as well. in mag, the tsc-omap3.c gets the coordinate like this mag | l4evdev.c Ev[22]. D: OMAP_TSC/input0, T : 3, C : 0 , V: 1085 mag | l4evdev.c Ev[23]. D: OMAP_TSC/input0, T : 3, C : 1 , V: 701 I want to make the l4linux and android kown the coordinate. now i cat /proc/interrupts it shows 210: 32 l4 l4-uart 211: 0 l4 l4fbev Err: 0 when i touch the omap3530 screen , the l4fbev still shows 0. i think i didn't get the l4fbev interruput.then how can i get it? in l4fb.c, there is the function irqerurn_t event_interrupt(), but in my board it didn't perform.maybe it is the reson? thanks very much! _______________________________________________ l4android-dev mailing list l4android-dev(a)lists.l4android.org http://lists.l4android.org/mailman/listinfo/l4android-dev

Call for Papers: System Software Verification Conference (SSV 2012)
by Toby Murray 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

[Note: Submission Deadline is 19 September 2012] 7th Systems Software Verification Conference (SSV 2012) November 28--30, 2012 Sydney, Australia http://www.ssv-conference.org/ *Scope Industrial-strength software analysis and verification has advanced in recent years through the introduction of model checking, automated and interactive theorem proving, and static analysis techniques, as well as correctness by design, correctness by contract, and model-driven development. However, many techniques are working under restrictive assumptions that are invalidated by complex embedded systems software such as operating system kernels, low-level device drivers, or microcontroller code. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and developers from both academia and industry who are facing real software and real problems with the goal of finding real, applicable solutions. By “real” we mean problems such as time-to-market or reliability that the industry is facing. A real solution is one that is applicable to the problem in industry and not one that only applies to an abstract, academic, toy version of it. In this workshop we will discuss software analysis and development techniques and tools; this forum will serve as a platform to discuss open problems and future challenges in dealing with existing and upcoming systems-level code. Topics include, but are not restricted to: • Model checking • Automated and interactive theorem proving • Static analysis • Automated testing • Model-driven development • Embedded systems development • Programming languages • Verifying compilers • Software certification • Software tools • Experience reports *Submissions Submissions must be made electronically through the EasyChair system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssv2012) until September 19th, 2012. Papers should be up to 15 pages in pdf format and formatted in EPTCS style. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee. All will be subject to peer review under normal conference standards. Experience reports and papers on work in progress are welcome as long as there is a clear contribution. Submissions which are based or discuss a non-trivial piece of software are required to make all those non-standard software parts available, which a referee may need, in order to check the claims of the submission. Submitted papers must not have previously appeared in a journal or conference with published proceedings and must not be concurrently submitted to any other peer-reviewed workshop, symposium, conference or archival journal. Any partial overlap with any such published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated. *Publication The proceedings will be published with EPTCS (http://eptcs.org) *Important Dates Abstract Submission: September 14, 2012 Paper Submission: September 19, 2012 Notification: October 19, 2012 Conference: November 28–30, 2012 *Location The workshop will be held in Sydney, Australia at NICTA NRL Laboratory. *Organization Organizing Committee and PC Chairs • F.

L4Re/Fiasco IO memory map.
by Daniel Waddington 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi, I have a SATA controller card. When I try to map in the IO memory from the PCI BAR regs an NMI is generated - and the mapping doesn't seemed to have worked (fully?). What might generate this NMI? The same platform/device works fine in Linux. Thanks Daniel

Problem Booting x86_64 kernel in qemu
by Markus Pfeiffer 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Dear all, I tried building the Fiasco kernel (x86_64, from svn) together with the hello demo inside a qemu as it is shown on the website under "Getting started". Unfortunately the kernel traps while booting (Unexpected trap while booting Fiasco). The trap number seems to be invalid (-8029759185026510704). Any pointers towards where to look for a fix?

Questions about Shared Memory Area and IRQ
by ZhangEditing 10 Aug '12

10 Aug '12

Hello. I have been trying to use the shared memory library and have learnt that it uses signals to notify parties that participate in communication. When I looked into the library code, I found that it implements signals with IRQs. However, I could not figure out which IRQ the library use. I have noticed that l4shmc_add_signal creates an IRQ object, but no IRQ number is used. The only thing that appear like an IRQ number is the second argument of l4_irq_attach, which is called by l4shmc_attach_signal_to. But I haven't found any clue about the meaning of the argument. Would you please tell me what the second argument of l4_irq_attach is? I have also noticed that l4shmc_add_signal registered an IRQ object to the namespace of the shared memory area. Does this mean that the IRQs used to implement signals are guaranteed not to conflict with any IRQ used by the hardware or any other software IRQ, regardless of the ORDER in which they are created? Thank you in advance!
