Thanks for the information. Looking at eChronos now.

Does an MPU, e.g. on a Cortex M3, provide enough functionality to

support seL4?

No, it doesn’t. The seL4 model is fundamentally based on the ability to virtualise hardware resources.

If you don’t have that, then you can’t dod much more than a memory-protected RTOS. If you’re after an RTOS with a (not yet complete) verification story, look at eChronos: https://ts.data61.csiro.au/ projects/TS/echronos/

In particular we have some work in the pipeline that adds (ARM Cortex-M3/4) MPU support to eChronos (it’s currently in the process of being code-reviewed and will be released after that).

Ihor.
