Article about building a simple seL4 root task | 2014-10-30

###########################################################
|

|
||||
| As we have just kicked off our work on porting Genode to the seL4
|
||||
| microkernel, we took the chance to document the process in the form
|
||||
| of a series of articles. The first part covers the steps of creating
|
||||
| a minimalistic root task.
|
||||
|
||||
The seL4 kernel is a modern microkernel jointly developed by NICTA and
|
||||
General Dynamics. This summer, it was released under GPL, which makes it
|
||||
intriguing as a potential base platform for Genode. Its biggest appeal
|
||||
stems from the fact that there exists a formal proof of correctness of the
|
||||
kernel code. But besides this assuring attribute, with solid kernel resource
|
||||
management, support for capability-based security, and good performance, it is
|
||||
attractive on technical merits too.
|
||||
|
||||
The article "Genode on seL4 - Building a simple root task from scratch" covers
|
||||
the first steps of enabling Genode to run on seL4. It describes the
|
||||
integration of the kernel code with Genode's source tree and the steps taken
|
||||
to create a minimalistic root task that runs on the kernel. It is full of
|
||||
hands-on information about the methodology of such a porting effort and
|
||||
describes the experience with using the kernel from the perspective of
|
||||
someone with no prior association with the seL4 project.

All the steps described in the article can be followed in the
|
||||
topic branch [http://github.com/nfeske/genode/commits/sel4] of the current
|
||||
development.
