Hi I apologize if this is not the right platform to reach people. But I am looking for a freelancer who has some expereince in working with seL4 kernel. I need some aid in implementation of a project. Regards Vicky

Larger badges on 64-bit?
by Corey Richardson 21 Oct '16

21 Oct '16

Is there a future in which we recover the extra 32+ bits of padding on 64-bit systems for use in badges? In Robigalia, 28 bit badges are extremely limiting for what we want to use them for. -- cmr http://octayn.net/

CAmkES Groups
by Robert VanVossen 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Hello, I have been trying to get groups with CAmkES 2.2 working, but it doesn't look like it will build correctly. At first, when I place components in a group, I get that there is an unresolved reference to one of the components during compilation. I was able to get past this by moving the function assign_address_spaces in camkes/camkes/runner/Transforms.py from POST_RESOLUTION to PRE_RESOLUTION, but after that I still ran into some issues: [LD] MyGroup_group_bin if [ 2 -eq 1 ]; then cp "comp1.instance-copy.bin" " MyGroup_group_bin"; else /usr/bin/ccache arm-xilinx-eabi-gcc comp1.instance-copy.bin comp2.instance-copy.bin -Wl,--build-id=none -L<stage_dir>/lib -Wall -nostdinc -std=gnu11 -O2 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 -marm -Wtrampolines -mcpu=cortex-a9 -g -Wno-main -fno-stack-protector -Wl,--start-group -lsel4 -lsel4debug -lc -lsel4muslccamkes -lsel4camkes -lsel4sync -lutils -lsel4vka -lsel4utils -lsel4platsupport -lplatsupport -lsel4vspace -lgcc -Wl,--end-group -static -nostdlib -u _camkes_start -e _camkes_start -o MyGroup_group_bin; fi <stage_dir>/lib/libsel4camkes.a(crt0.o): In function `_camkes_start': (.text+0x6c): undefined reference to `_start' Any insight on this? Are groups supported yet? Thanks, Robbie VanVossen

SDHC driver in Sabre Lite
by Norrathep Rattanavipanon 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Is there any example on how to use sdhc driver in ( https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/projects_libs/tree/master/libsdhcdrivers)? Currently, I'm struggling to read a block of data from micro-sd in seL4. I use the following code (assertions are omitted here for readability) to instantiate the driver : ps_io_mapper_t io_mapper = {0}; error = sel4platsupport_new_io_mapper(simple, vspace, vka, &io_mapper); ps_dma_man_t dma_man = {0}; error = sel4utils_new_page_dma_alloc(&vka, &vspace, &dma_man); ps_io_ops_t io_ops = { .io_mapper = io_mapper, .dma_manager = dma_man }; sdio_host_dev_t* dev = (sdio_host_dev_t*) malloc(sizeof(*dev)); assert(dev != NULL); memset(dev,0, sizeof(*dev)); enum sdio_id id = sdio_default_id(); error = sdio_init(id, &io_ops, dev); mmc_card_t* mmc_card = (mmc_card_t*) malloc(sizeof(*mmc_card)); error = mmc_init(dev, &io_ops, mmc_card); void* vaddr = (void*) 0x1980000; uintptr_t paddr = (uintptr_t) 0x119a7000; long read_len = mmc_block_read(*mmc_card, 0, 5, vaddr, paddr, NULL, NULL); And the code's stuck in mmc_block_read function where interrupt status (BRR and BWR) are never on.

Missing untypeds on x86?
by Jeff Waugh 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Hi all, Using x86 master on qemu with 2G memory, the kernel's map looks good: Parsing GRUB physical memory map Physical Memory Region from 0 size 9fc00 type 1 Physical Memory Region from 9fc00 size 400 type 2 Physical Memory Region from f0000 size 10000 type 2 Physical Memory Region from 100000 size 7fee0000 type 1 Adding physical memory region 0x100000-0x1fc00000 Physical Memory Region from 7ffe0000 size 20000 type 2 Physical Memory Region from fffc0000 size 40000 type 2 But the largest physical address of non-device untyped I get from bootinfo is 0x1faf9000. Same at 1G to 3G, though it does the right thing at 128M. On the other hand, x86_64 looks fine with 0x7ffc0000, and adapts to more. btw, very exciting to see x86_64 code land! Working well so far. Thanks, Jeff

question about adding device to ARM VM linux
by PX 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

Hi, all I have a question about adding a device to ARM VM linux. When a device is added to the vmlinux, two functions, map_device () and map_ram () are invoked. I don't understand the purpose of map_ram(). In map_device(), the capacity to the device is used to set up the mapping between a virtual address and the MMIO (of the device). Then, in the map_ram (), a capacity to the virtual address is allocated. I am confused because the virtual address is already mapped to the mmio of the device. why do we need to allocate a capacity for the virtual address? Should the capacity be the same as the one for the device? Thanks Peng

adding code to the main.c for ARM VMM
by PX 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

Hi, I have posted this question before and my problem is not totally solved because I am not familiar with Makefile. I try to make my question more specific as follows. I want to add new code, which is already organized under a directory, say, test. I want to add the directory test to main.c file for ARM VMM, located at ~/projects/vm/apps/vm/components/VM/src/main.c. In the program, we want to refer to the sub-directories by relative path to the directory test. what is the easy to do that? How can we add the directory test to the search path so that we can include the header files by the relative path to the directory test, say include "test1/test1.h"? We tried to modify the makefile at ~projects/vm/apps/vm, but we have to add all the sub-directories, and there are problems for the files with the same name under different directories. thanks Peng
