Hi Adam,


i decided not to use libshmc and do it "manually" with Dataspace and 
IRQ, because i think this comes closest to the communication between 
TrustZone worlds.
It's the best starting point before pushing the project to TrustZone 
(ie. Normal world Client and Secure Server), isn't it?


Anyway, i need some more help.


i tried this:

> L4::Cap<L4Re::Dataspace> ds = 
> L4Re::Env::env()->get_cap<L4Re::Dataspace>("shmds");
> 
> l4_addr_t startAddr = 0;

> L4Re::Rm::In_area | L4Re::Rm::Eager_map, ds, 0, L4_PAGESHIFT) )
>   printf("Error");


First, get_cap<L4Re::Dataspace>("shmds") leads to a kernel warning.
> KERNEL: Warning: nothing mapped: (Obj_space)
i guess, i dont understand that capability stuff entirely. What causes 
this warning?

Second, my C++ skills are a bit moderate, unfortunately.
So, is this right?
> L4Re::Env::env()->rm()->attach( &startAddr, 4096, flags, ds, 0, 
> L4_PAGESHIFT)
Or how to call L4Re::Rm::attach()?


Thanks again,
