Revised Foundations and Applications books Jun 06, 2025The "Genode Foundations" and "Genode Applications" books have been updated to match the Genode framework 25.05 and Sculpt OS 25.04.
Following the release of Genode 25.05, the Genode Foundations book has received its annual revision. The new version features an updated discussion of error handling and the C++ exception mechanism, adjusts many examples to a more concise configuration style, and covers recent additions like partial session-label rewriting. Most notably, however, the API reference has received much attention, reflecting the move of the framework away from C++ exceptions to the use of sum types for error handling.

Developers targeting Sculpt OS version 25.04 can now enjoy a wealth of up-to-date material in the form of the revised Genode Applications book. Besides the adaptation to the current versions of the Goa SDK and Sculpt OS, the book features a new tutorial for porting 3rd-party software, taking curl as a practical example. It also gives plenty of practical advice, from setting up virtual networking on a developer's machine to the sandboxed operation of the Goa SDK. Genode Foundations 25.04 (PDF) |
