This patch extends the 'Platform_session::alloc_dma_buffer' interface with a 'Cache' argument that corresponds to the argument accepted by 'Ram_allocator::alloc', which is used by the platform driver under the hood. Since the x86 platform driver used to be hardwired to allocate DMA buffers as UNCACHED, I adjusted all drivers by specifying the UNCACHED argument. Right now, this is needed as a hint for core to steer the allocation of I/O page tables. Once we eliminate the need for such hints (by introducing an explicit 'Region_map::attach_dma' operation), we can revisit the drivers individually because cached DMA buffers should generally be fine on the x86 architecture. Issue #2243
This repository contains the Device Driver Environment for the "donator OS" iPXE available from http://ipxe.org/. For building DDE iPXE, you first need to fetch and patch the original sources. The 'prepare_port' tool automates this task. Just issue: ! ./tool/ports/prepare_port dde_ipxe Now, you need to include the DDE iPXE repository into your Genode build process. Just add the path to this directory to the 'REPOSITORIES' declaration of the 'etc/build.conf' file within your build directory, for example ! REPOSITORIES += $(GENODE_DIR)/repos/dde_ipxe After successful build the DDE iPXE based ethernet driver is located at 'bin/nic_drv'.
