Hi Baltazar,

Another (less exclusively RISC-V related, though I am targeting RISC-V still) question - I've been trying to figure out the sel4runtime repo, but I'm a bit confused on how to set it up. Specifically:

* How much of a "minimal seL4 environment" do I need to initialize first?

The sel4runtime is a minimal C runtime specifically for seL4. It handles the initialization of all applications (root servers and System-V ELF processes) on an seL4 system. A minimal project will require a repo project containing seL4, seL4_tools, musl, and sel4runtime (along with a root task application). sel4runtime is then used as the C runtime for all applications built in the project and is responsible for providing the entrypoints and calling into the main function.

* Do does my program with main() also need to specify a root task, or is that part of the minimal environment?

You will still need to provide a root task application. sel4runtime is only responsible for handling process startup for C applications.

* Is there a specific recommended location for the sel4runtime repo?

The sel4runtime repo is usually placed in the projects directory. You can see sel4-tutorials-manifest[^1] repository on github for an example of how the dependecies are laid out.
