At the current stage, the USB HID and storage drivers are prinicpally
working but not stable. If interrupts are not processed fast enough,
devices will get sporadically disconnected.
The USB host-controller driver is not part of the normal Linux kernel.
For this reason, we need to download it separately. There exists a
'prepare_rpi' rule in the 'dde_linux/Makefile' to automate this process.
This patch principally allows to install symlinks to out-of-Linux tree
drivers into the contrib directory. Those files are then considered for
the 'lx_emul.h' symlink procedure. Is useful as a temporary mechanism
while developing the rpi USB driver.
On non-PC platforms, the variable 'build' remains undefined, which lets
the 'build $build' step fail. Use the traditional 'build_components'
variable instead. As a further plus, this avoids multiple passes of the
build system.
Originally, the convenience utility for accessing a process
configuration came in the form of a header file. But this causes
aliasing problems if multiple compilation units access the config while
the configuration gets dynamically updated. Moving the implementation of
the accessor to the singleton object into a library solves those
problems.
'alloc_skb' might now fail, the Nic component will then send a 'packet
available' signal and return. Fix broken SKB list implementation as well as
completely bogus initialization of SKBs.
Related to #778.
This fixes issues with several HID keyboards by implementing
get_unaligned_le16(), which obviously may also fix other not-yet-known
issues. Hint: I had to look out for suspicious lines like follows in the
verbose log.
[init -> usb_drv] get_unaligned_le16 called, not implemented
Also, quirks for cherry keyboards are now applied.
In usb.inc all required Linux include files of the Linux code are looked up
by 'sed'ing through the files of SRC_C and SRC_CC. The Linux include files
are then added as dependency to the SRC_C and SRC_CC files and during dependency
resolution symbolic links to the lx_emul.h will be created.
In the platform specific usb.mk file there are the Linux driver files
added, but unfortunately after including usb.inc. So, for them no dependency
to any Linux include header file is generated and so no symbolic files are
generated.
If the driver code file is compiled as first, as for asix.c, the symbolic links
of the include files are missing and compilation fails.
Add the Linux driver code files to SRC_C before including usb.inc in the
platform specific usb.mk files.
This patch simplifies the way of how Genode's base libraries are
organized. Originally, the base API was implemented in the form of many
small libraries such as 'thread', 'env', 'server', etc. Most of them
used to consist of only a small number of files. Because those libraries
are incorporated in any build, the checking of their inter-dependencies
made the build process more verbose than desired. Also, the number of
libraries and their roles (core only, non-core only, shared by both core
and non-core) were not easy to capture.
Hereby, the base libraries have been reduced to the following few
libraries:
- startup.mk contains the startup code for normal Genode processes.
On some platform, core is able to use the library as well.
- base-common.mk contains the parts of the base library that are
identical by core and non-core processes.
- base.mk contains the complete base API implementation for non-core
processes
Consequently, the 'LIBS' declaration in 'target.mk' files becomes
simpler as well. In the most simple case, only the 'base' library must
be mentioned.
Fixes#18
This patch introduces keyboard-focus events to the 'Input::Event' class
and changes the name 'Input::Event::keycode' to 'code'. The 'code'
represents the key code for PRESS/RELEASE events, and the focus state
for FOCUS events (0 - unfocused, 1 - focused).
Furthermore, nitpicker has been adapted to deliver FOCUS events to its
clients.
Fixes#609
