With this commit preliminary audio support in VirtualBox is enabled.
The backend supports playback as well as recording sounds from within
a guest VM. Depending on how the guest configures the device model
the audio output may sound disorted. If the guest uses buffers that
are too small, i.e., 10 ms or less, frequent buffer underruns will
occure.
To get this low-latency one has also to increase vbox' update hz
to 200 (i.e., 5ms).
Fixes#1647.
Run script depending on VFS plugins (i.e., shared objects) like
vfs_jitterentropy.lib.so have to state this dependency rather the actual
binaries linked against libc. The latter introduces a library dependency
that is just not there. For example, the dependency on vfs_jitterentropy
is a result from the config node for libc which automatically loads the
plugin.
With the introducation of the Audio_in session interface it makes
sense to rename the current available audio drivers. At the moment
only the dde_bsd audio_drv supports Audio_out as well as Audio_in.
The Linux audio_drv only supports Audio_out (there is no demand for
Audio_in support currently) but is renamed nonetheless to make it
easiert to write generic run scripts.
Issue #1644.
The result of the second run (TCP_MAERTS) gets extracted wrongly - due to the
change introduced by commit "run: always append to output buffer"
(Issue #1327). The output buffer is no longer reseted between several
run_genode_until invocation within a run script.
The information about connected devices is obtained from a ROM file named
'usb_devices', which is supposed to contain a device list as in the device
report generated by the USB driver (see issue #1506).
A policy for 'report_rom' would look like:
<policy label="vbox -> usb_devices" report="usb_drv -> devices"/>
If the 'usb_devices' ROM file is not available, a warning message gets
printed and VirtualBox continues without USB pass-through support.
The devices to be passed-through need to have a matching device filter in
the '.vbox' file. Example:
<USB>
<DeviceFilters>
<DeviceFilter name="USB Scanner" active="true" vendorId="04a9"
productId="2220" remote="0"/>
</DeviceFilters>
</USB>
The feature was tested with HID devices (mouse, keyboard) and a flatbed
scanner. Mass storage devices didn't work correctly (they also didn't work
with VirtualBox on Linux without the closed-source extension pack).
It should be made sure that the USB driver does not try to control the
devices to be passed-through itself, for example, when passing-through
a HID device, the '<hid/>' config option should not be set.
Fixes#1507
On our test machine the xhci controller has a usb3.0 network adapter attached
and the xhci controller is the only usb controller which has MSI support,
so let us use and test it.
Issue #1216
This commit enables the VirtualBox graphics adapter, provides guest mouse
pointer integration with Nitpicker using the 'vbox_pointer' application
and enhances the VirtualBox run scripts with the configuration of
Nitpicker, input merger and network driver.
Fixes#1474
Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.
Fixes#1419
With the new run tool, there is no more is_qemu_available function. However,
some scripts still try to use it because only frequently used scripts were
updated by now. The commit replaces the function calls with the new
'have_include power_on/qemu' check.
Ref #1419
Instead of returning an uint64_t value, return a structured time stamp.
This change is only visible to components using Rtc_session directly.
Fixes#1381.
Be less verbose regards warnings caused by vmx_invalid exits - which triggers
on T400 more often because it has no Unrestricted Guest support. This leads
to lot of log messages so that the test does not succeed in time. Additionally,
the virtualbox_auto_disk.run script is adjusted to check for some output to
exit earlier if something went wrong.
Fixes#1367
This is just a quick fix to calm down the buildbot - a revised
implementation is needed according to issue #1277. Further, the reason
for the increased test duration on several platforms must be
investigated.
* repos/ports/include/vmm
- add support to specify cpu location during vCPU construction
* seoul
- update to latest seoul branch supporting smp
- adjust to vmm interface changes
- vCPUs will be put in a round robin fashion on the available host CPUs,
beginning with the next CPU after the default (boot) CPU
- number of vCPUs can be specified in run script
* virtualbox
- adjust to vmm interface changes
- uses still one vCPU, placed on default (boot) CPU
Fixes#1212
and add xml configuration option to switch it on if required. Avoids trouble
on Windows 7 guest where IRQ injected by VMMDev PCI device is not delivered.
If ioapic is required and Windows guest addition "hangs", look in file
DevPCI.cpp, function pciSetIrqInternal, variable fIsApicEnabled. If
config[0xde] == 0xbe
config[0xad] == 0xef
it works. "Deadbeaf" seems to/should be set in ACPI file vbox.dsl. Happens for
unknown reason not on Genode/Nova.
Fixes#1188
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
