Does sel4 support c++
by Yuxin Ren 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Hi, Can I run C++ programs on sel4? I am not familiar with programming language. I do not know the relationship between the OS and the C++ language. In order to run C++, does the OS need to provide some support or what user level library are needed? Thanks a lot. Yuxin

high-availability system should have these software services
by XilongPei(裴喜龙) 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi, In general, a high-availability system should have the following software services http://electronicdesign.com/boards/high-availability-rtoss-deliver-five-nine s-reliability : - Heartbeat support for each server and each application. - Event management capability for change notification. - Alarm management for error handling. - Transactions capability for check-pointing and rollback/restart. - Clustering for server management and applications links. - Reliable storage support for RAIDs and for journaling file systems. I want to develop a high-availability system on seL4, can anyone give me some suggestions? QNX has high availability support http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.0SP3/neutrino/sys_arch/ham.html , can we learn something from them? Xilong Pei Tongji University 2015/6/11

Sel4 and Network
by Haselauer Lukas - S1410304006 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hello, My name is Lukas and I am currently studying in Austria. I am currently using sel4 in a student's project. We are using CAmkES to develop a small application (on the imx6-platform), and some things already work fine :-) But when it comes to networking, we are totally without results. We tried using some of the excisting libraries (libethdrivers + libplatsupport + liblwip) - but without success. My question is: Which way can I go if I want my CAmkES Apps to communicate via ethernet? Do I have to implement a driver as part of the App? As an additional library? Or somewhere else? I really couldn't figure out how to do it properly... Is there some sort of documentation or example on how to get a IP-stack up and running on sel4? Thank you for reading and helping! Lukas

Hello world - simple example thread creation
by Piotr 30 May '15

30 May '15

I would like to start from scratch - simple thread or process creation helloworld in seL4. I saw there are some examples in "sel4test/app" of seL4 application, but I am looking for something smaller. I have found here on page 39 "Creating a Thread in Own AS and cspace_t" http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9242/14/lectures/01-intro.pdf example of thread creation. Unfortunetly I cannot find header file with " cspace_ut_retype_addr" or "ut_alloc". Are they obsolete, any replacements? Are there any small and simple hello-world tutorials or examples avaliable?

why do there are some differences between camkes branch and master branch in lib seL4/libsel4muslcsys
by Pei.XiLong(裴喜龙) 29 May '15

Hi, Siwei Zhuang, Why do there are some differences between camkes branch and master branch in lib seL4/libsel4muslcsys? The lib seL4/libsel4muslcsys is the foundation of libmuslc, it shoud be a libc for any seL4 program, and there should be no diference among any branches. https://github.com/seL4/libsel4muslcsys/commits/camkes Xilong Pei Tongji University 2015/5/29

Progress of bringing Genode to seL4
by Norman Feske 26 May '15

26 May '15

Hello, I have written up the first of a series of articles about using seL4 as base platform for the Genode OS framework: http://genode.org/documentation/articles/sel4_part_1 I hope that it contains useful bits of information for novices of seL4 and Genode alike. Even though the article outlines a few hurdles, the overall experience of using the kernel had been overly positive so far. For those of you interested in tracking the progress of the ongoing work, here is the corresponding topic branch: https://github.com/nfeske/genode/commits/sel4 Cheers Norman -- Dr.-Ing. Norman Feske Genode Labs http://www.genode-labs.com · http://genode.org Genode Labs GmbH · Amtsgericht Dresden · HRB 28424 · Sitz Dresden Geschäftsführer: Dr.-Ing. Norman Feske, Christian Helmuth
