Running the FERRET Examples

[Karl Steger]

Hi L4 hackers,

I'm trying to run the scalar demo from the FERRET package. Although the
server loop from "l4/pkg/ferret/server/re/sensordir.cc" starts, no
scalar sensor is registered in
"l4/pkg/ferret/examples/demo/scalar_demo/main.c" as the program
execution pauses at this line:

ret = ferret_create(srv, 10, 1, 0, FERRET_SCALAR, 0, "0:100:%", s1,
&malloc);

which leads to an l4_ipc_call to the sensor directory.

Could you please tell me if there is a problem with my configuration
file below or provide a working configuration file?

Thanks and regards,
