Exercising the seL4 kernel interface Mar 10, 2015The second part of the article series about Genode on seL4 goes into detail about the kernel mechanisms for synchronous inter-process communication and the management of virtual memory. The article "Genode on seL4 - IPC and virtual memory" examines the most important mechanisms of the seL4 kernel. It covers synchronous inter-process communication between threads, the delegation of capabilities, and the management of virtual memory. Apart from presenting hands-on experience with using the kernel, it identifies potential challenges for using it as Genode base platform. Read the article... All the steps described in the article can be followed in the topic branch https://github.com/nfeske/genode/commits/sel4 of the ongoing development. |
