Release 0.4.0 of the seL4 Device Driver Framework
by Ivan Velickovic 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

Hello all This is a message to let people know that version 0.4.0 of the seL4 Device Driver Framework (sDDF) has been released. The sDDF aims to provide a collection of interfaces, libraries and tools for writing device drivers for seL4 that allow accessing devices securely and with low overhead. Some may be familiar with the sDDF from previous seL4 Summit talks. Since the pre-release at the 2023 Summit, we have made significant improvements to the networking sub-system, generally rationalising interfaces and further improving performance, the Ethernet device-class interfaces are now mature. We have also introduced preliminary specs and prototype implementations for serial, I2C, block, audio and graphics device classes. You can find information about the release and the accompanying documentation here: https://github.com/au-ts/sddf/releases/tag/0.4.0 Thanks, Ivan

Hello, I run sel4test on the aarch64 platform. My CACHEFLUSH0001 test in sel4test failed /* Clean makes data observable to non-cached page */ *ptr = 0xC0FFEE; *ptrc = 0xDEADBEEF; test_assert(*ptr == 0xC0FFEE); test_assert(*ptrc == 0xDEADBEEF); I have tried to make to 'improve' memory/cache coherence, but the last assertion still failed /* Clean makes data observable to non-cached page */ *ptr = 0xC0FFEE; *ptrc = 0xDEADBEEF; error = seL4_ARM_Page_Clean_Data(framec, 0, PAGE_SIZE_4K); error = seL4_ARM_Page_Invalidate_Data(framec, 0, PAGE_SIZE_4K); __asm volatile("dmb sy" ::: "memory"); test_assert(*ptr == 0xC0FFEE); test_assert(*ptrc == 0xDEADBEEF); Thank you, Leonid

By default it uses 29 bits; for a 2G region you need 31 bits. In the devices.camkes file, in the untyped_mmios section. There's probably an entry, "0x40000000:29", try increasing this to "0x40000000:31" to get a 2^31 region. -- Dr Peter Chubb https://trustworthy.systems/ Trustworthy Systems Group CSE, UNSW Core hours: Mon 8am-3pm; Wed: 8am-5pm; Fri 8am-12pm.

It doesn't seem to work. I'm attaching the device.camkes file and the error screenshots.

Only 512mb ram available on capdl-loader-image-arm-qemu-arm-virt image
by skydivebcn＠gmail.com 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

Hi! I'm running a an aarch64 Linux guest with qemu with "qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt,virtualization=on,highmem=off,secure=off -cpu cortex-a53 -m size=2048 (...) -kernel capdl-loader-image-arm-qemu-arm-virt". I have noticed that no matter how I set the "-m size" parameter that only 512MB are available to the Linux guest. Removing the "highmem=off" crashes the system. Ok, what is the fastest, easiest way to get a workaround to this (if possible)? and have much more RAM available to Linux guest? Best,

next seL4 TSC meeting on Fri 22 Mar
by Gerwin Klein 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

The Technical Steering Committee (TSC) of the seL4 Foundation will hold its next public meting on: - Sydney: Fri, 22 Mar, 6pm - Central Europe: Fri, 22 Mar, 8am - US West Coast (LA/SF): Fri, 22 Mar, 0:00h See also the seL4 calendar feed available from here: https://sel4.systems/contact/home.pml The meeting is by Zoom, and you can join from here: https://unsw.zoom.us/j/83417411537 Anyone interested can join the meeting and listen to the discussion and request to speak, which will be granted if time permits. Only TSC members can vote. The seL4 code of conduct applies to the meeting [1]. The agenda for the meeting so far is: - action items from last meeting - RFC-17: IPI API - RFC-16: PMU (for discussion/feedback, not enough detail yet to vote) - RFC-15: Morello (for discussion/feedback, not enough detail yet to vote) - RFC-14: MCS budget limit thresholds — status? - should we remove deprecated sel4lib functions to enable verification? - steps for next seL4 release - discussion if there is time: - use GitHub discussions instead of discourse? (i.e. retire discourse?) - use GitHub for RFC process? (i.e. retire/archive JIRA?) If there are other items that I missed or you think should be on the agenda, please let me know. If we can't get to an item this time, we can still schedule another meeting. Cheers, Gerwin (TSC chair) [1]: https://docs.sel4.systems/processes/conduct.html _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list -- devel(a)sel4.systems To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave(a)sel4.systems

Re: DIFFICULTY RUNNING SEL4TEST ON RASPBERRY PI 4 REV 1.5 4GB

I am reaching out to seek Mario> assistance regarding running sel4test on a Raspberry Pi 4 Mario> Rev1.5 4GB. seL4 is only supported at the moment on the Raspberry Pi 4B with a BCM2711. Each build of seL4 is specific to a particular SoC. The Rev 1.5 has a different SoC. I don't know if anyone has done the work to port seL4 to the Rev 1.5 Pi4, which (I think) uses a BCM2835.
