The GUID partition table (GPT) is primarily used by systems using (U)EFI and is a replacement for the legacy MBR. For now, the current implementation is able to address up to 128 GUID partition entries (GPE). To enable the GPT support in 'part_blk' it has to be configured accrodingly: ! <start name="part_blk"> ! [...] ! <config use_gpt="yes"> ! [...] ! </start> If 'part_blk' is not able to find a valid GPT header it falls back to using the MBR. Current limitations: Since no endian conversion takes place it only works on LE platforms and of all characters in the UTF-16 encoded name field of an entry only the ones included in the ASCII encoding are printed. It also ignores all GPE attributes. Issue #1429.
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.
