Dear
Thanks for the replies.
In TUDOS wiki, it said that "In 2007 the actually supported API of Fiasco
was too disjunct with the Version 2 API, so Fiasco received its own API name
which is *L4.Fiasco*."
After browsing the fiasco website, I couldn't find the relative document
about L4.Fiasco.
Does L4.Fiasco kernel API and ABI release any reference documents?
Thanks again.
Best Regards,
Sean
