Great, all L4Re-Apps boot now.

But, there's still something wrong.
Here's my code to access HW:


   printf("io_request...");
   long ret = l4io_request_iomem( 0x43c00000, 4, L4IO_MEM_NONCACHED, 
baseaddr);
   printf("done!\n");

   if (ret != 0){
     return -1;
   }

   l4_uint32_t rng = *baseaddr; // ERR comes here


When accessing *baseaddr, there's an Error.
This code used to work with an older snapshot...

RNG    | Hi, this is RNG server.
RNG    | io_request...done!
RNG    | L4Re[rm]: mapping for page fault failed with error -34 at 
0x9000 pc=0x1000280
RNG    | L4Re: unhandled exception: pc=0x1000280 (pfa=9000)
RNG    | L4Re: Global::l4re_aux->ldr_flags=0


So, is this the correct way to access a certain HW-Address?



Thanks,
