Norman Feske dc39a8db62 base: introduce Allocator::try_alloc This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt' return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors. To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator' is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new 'try_alloc'. Issue #4324		2021-11-29 15:11:52 +01:00

README

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'.

The driver optionally reports the following information under the
label "devices" if requested in the config as depicted.

! <config> <report mac_address="true"/> </config>

! <devices> <nic mac_address="02:00:00:00:00:01"/> </devices>
