Hi, I'm trying to follow the instructions for loading the test image for ifc6410 on this page: http://sel4.systems/Hardware/IFC6410/ I'm not clear about the second instruction "> ramdisk". It looks to me like this is a redirection with some missing parts. Can you please help me fill in the blanks? Thanks, Joel

That's correct -- an empty redirection creates a zero-length file, which is what we want here. The seL4test bundle doesn't need a ramdisk, but the bootimage has to have one in it. So we create an empty file and use it. -- Dr Peter Chubb peter.chubb AT nicta.com.au http://www.ssrg.nicta.com.au Software Systems Research Group/NICTA
Makes sense. Thanks Peter.
