Hi Adam!
maybe the KMB lecture slides are somehow helpful.
They are a good starting point to understand the principles. However the mapping to the code is still unclear. Wouldn't it be possible to get a student (HiWi) writing some documentation?
You should have some good understanding of Linux internals though
Yes. And that's exactly my problem ... :-(
understand what the important code does.
First understand what the important code is.
Besides that you can of course ask questions and I can try to answer
them.
From your lecture I understand that a new architecture would require
mainly changes to the "Lower Half" of L4Linux. But I suppose there are also changes required to the Syscall Interface. However, since I want to port it to another L4 Interface, I'll also have to rewrite a lot more. So I'm tending more to use either the L4Linux-2.4 (where there is no documentation) or Wombat, which at least builds on the L4.X2 API.
Anyways, I fear I won't manage to do it within 6 weeks ... :-(
Thanks for the help,
Martin.
