This is the generic Genode base system, which consists of two parts:
|
|
|
|
:_Core_: is the root of the Genode component tree. It provides abstractions for
|
|
the lowest-level hardware resources such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and device access.
|
|
All generic parts of core can be found here. For kernel-specific parts,
|
|
refer to the appropriate 'base-<kernel>' directory.
|
|
|
|
:_Base libraries and interfaces: that are used by each Genode component
|
|
to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything
|
|
together.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the used kernel, core may export information about the hardware
|
|
platform as a ROM called 'platform_info'. For example, if the ACPI RSDT and
|
|
XSDT physical pointer are reported by the used kernel and/or bootloader, core
|
|
provides this information in the ROM as follows.
|
|
|
|
!<platform_info>
|
|
! <acpi revision="2" rsdt="0x1fe93074" xsdt="0x1fe930e8"/>
|
|
! <boot>
|
|
! <framebuffer phys="0x7300000" width="1024" height="768" bpp="32"/>
|
|
! </boot>
|
|
!</platform_info>
|
|
|
|
If the graphics device is initialised and can be directly used by a
|
|
framebuffer driver, core provides the physical pointer to the framebuffer, the
|
|
resolution, and color depth in bits.
