The original loader service was primarily motivated by the browser-plugin scenario presented on our live CD. The new version implements a more general session interface, which widens the application scope of the service and, at the same time, reduces its implementation complexity. The complexity reduction is achieved by removing the original limitation of supplying the new sub system as a single binary blob only. The server used to implement heuristics and functionality for dealing with different kinds of blobs such as ELF images or TAR archives. This has been replaced by a session-local ROM service, which can be equipped with an arbitrary number of ROM modules supplied by the loader client prior starting the new sub system. Even though the TAR support has been removed, a separate instance of the 'tar_rom' service can be used within the subsystem to provide the formerly built-in functionality. |

This is the example operating system based on the Genode OS framework: :_Init_: is the first real process in the system. The provided implementation uses a very simple XML parser to read its configuration files. :_Drivers_: The example OS has basic drivers for frame buffer, mouse and keyboard input, the PCI bus, the real-time clock, and system-specific timers. :_Server_: The only server in the example OS is Nitpicker, a minimal-complexity GUI server. :_Test_: are also part of the example OS. You may have a look at the fork bomb as a simple system stress test. :_Ldso_: is the dynamic linker used for loading executables that are linked against shared libraries. :_Lib_: contains libraries used by the components of the OS repository, in particular the device-driver kit, the alarm framework, and support for dynamic linking.
