Ok, works now.
(The Warning appeared because i did commented out 'server.loop()' and 
main() did exit with 'return 0').

Anyway, i still have some question about that IRQ, and i would be 
grateful if u could answer them, too.

I found two examples with IRQ: 'l4/pkg/examples/sys/map_irq' and 
'l4/pkg/examples/libs/l4re/c++/shared_ds'.
I guess i could easily adapt them.

What makes we wonder, is that both examples make use of 
'L4::Ipc::Iostream'. Actually, i dont see any difference between IRQ & 
IPC, since both are registered servers using 
L4.default_loader:new_channel().
I guess, IPC is build upon IRQ?

However, you said that IPC is not possible between TrustZone worlds, 
because each world has a separate microkernel instance. I reason there 
is no L4.default_loader:new_channel() possible between worlds?
Do u have an example design for TZ communication?


Thanks alot,
