Fiasco.OC is a microkernel developed by the OS group of the TU-Dresden. It's
|
|
|
|
|
an object-oriented capability-based system for x86, ARM and PowerPC platforms.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
This document provides brief instructions about downloading, building and
|
|
|
|
|
booting the Fiasco.OC version of Genode.

Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
#############
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need certain tools to use the Fiasco.OC build system. On Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
|
systems you have to install the following packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
! apt-get install make gawk pkg-config subversion patch
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moreover, you need to download and install the tool-chain used by Genode. Have
|
|
|
|
|
a look at this page:

|
Genode tool-chain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the so called run-scripts in Genode, a mechanism that
|
|
|
|
|
automates building, integration and testing of components, you have to install
|
|
|
|
|
the following, additional package:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
! apt-get install expect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Building the Fiasco.OC version of Genode
|
|

|
|
The current version of Genode is available at the public subversion repository:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:http://genode.org/download/subversion-repository:

Information about accessing the Genode public subversion repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you've fetched the Genode source tree from the subversion repository, or
|
|
|
|
|
downloaded the latest release tar archive, you need the Fiasco.OC source code,
|
|
|
|
|
its kernel-bindings, additional bootstrap tools etc. To simplify that step,
|
2016-03-11 09:54:00 +00:00
|
|
|
you can use the 'prepare_port' tool:
|
2011-12-22 15:19:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2016-03-11 09:54:00 +00:00
|
|
|
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port foc
|
2011-12-22 15:19:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install all necessary third-party source code in the 'contrib' folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-12-18 15:38:49 +00:00
|
|
|
For the vesa driver on x86 the x86emu library is required and can be downloaded
|
2016-03-11 09:54:00 +00:00
|
|
|
and prepared by invoking the following command:
|
2012-12-18 15:38:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2016-03-11 09:54:00 +00:00
|
|
|
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port x86emu
|
2012-12-18 15:38:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2011-12-22 15:19:25 +00:00
|
|
|
Now, go to a directory where you want the Genode/Fiasco.OC build directory to
|
|
|
|
|
remain. Use the helper script in the 'tool' directory of the Genode
|
|
|
|
|
source tree to create the initial build environment. You need to state the
|
|
|
|
|
build directory you want to create, and the hardware architecture to run
|
|
|
|
|
Fiasco.OC/Genode on. Choose 'foc_x86_32', 'foc_x86_64', or 'foc_pbxa9'
|
|
|
|
|
depending on whether you want to build for the 32-bit or 64-bit X86
|
|
|
|
|
architecture, or for ARMs Cortex-A9.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
! <genode-dir>/tool/create_builddir foc_x86_32 \
|
|
|
|
|
! BUILD_DIR=<build-dir>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, go to the newly created build directory and type make:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
! cd <build-dir>
|
|
|
|
|
! make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will build the Fiasco.OC kernel, its bootstrap code, and every Genode component,
|
|
|
|
|
that runs on top of Fiasco.OC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you just want to give Genode/Fiasco.OC a try, you can call e.g.: the demo run-script
|
|
|
|
|
instead of building everything:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
! cd <build-dir>
|
|
|
|
|
! make run/demo
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
