Ok,

i found the following thread, making things clearer.
http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/pipermail/l4-hackers/2014/006521.html

In the examples mentioned, IPC is used to transfer the IRQ and DS 
capabilities from the client to the server, aye?

As i want to go for TrustZone, i dont wanna use IPC.
Hence, i have to create a virtual IRQ in Ned's script, so that both 
Tasks know the IRQ namespace?

If this is any correct, then i miss the right syntax.
I tried the following, but failed:



local virtual_smc = L4.Env.Irq:create();

ld:start({ caps = { irq = virtual_smc:svr()},},
	 "rom/server");

ld:start({ caps = { irq = virtual_smc },},
          "rom/client");



Thanks to all of u,
