Ok, I'll start using one of those. Is there any real difference between the two?
From a users point of view not really. They both work equally well.
Id also like to know what would need to be done to port L4Env to a new arm-based arch, eg video card driver (not supported by existing linux driver), touchscreen, mmu. Is there a list somewhere of interfaces that need to be implemented?
There's no such list. For a new platform you basically have to add or adapt interrupt, timer, mmu, uart etc. drivers in the kernel. User space needs to be taught some platform information but that's it basically. A video card driver is some user thing. I have l4con and dope running but that's it when one doesn't have keyboard/mouse. And touchscreen sounds like there's a special application anyway.
