Genode OS Framework release 13.05 | 2013-05-30
|
||||||
|
##############################################

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| The highlights of version 13.05 are new tools for automated testing and
|
||||||
|
| benchmarking including a suite of networking benchmarks, added device drivers
|
||||||
|
| for the Samsung Exynos 5 and Freescale i.MX SoCs, and new components for
|
||||||
|
| the operation of headless systems.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The growing diversity of Genode base platforms, in particular the variety
|
||||||
|
of ARM-based SoCs, calls for quality-assurance measures that go beyond unit
|
||||||
|
testing and Qemu-based integration tests: Genode's base functionality
|
||||||
|
including device drivers need to be continuously tested and measured on real
|
||||||
|
hardware. To automate this task, version 13.05 introduces extensive tooling
|
||||||
|
support including a suite of networking benchmarks that operates on different
|
||||||
|
levels of the networking stack.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Speaking of broadening the hardware support, the new version enhances the
|
||||||
|
existing base of device drivers for ARM-based SoCs with support for SATA,
|
||||||
|
USB-3, eMMC, and networking on Samsung Exynos 5, as well as support for LCD
|
||||||
|
display and touch-screen devices on Freescale i.MX SoCs. Furthermore, it
|
||||||
|
features basic support for the Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, which is the heart of the
|
||||||
|
popular Raspberry Pi platform.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Apart from the extended pool of device drivers, there is a new facility for
|
||||||
|
capturing LOG data to files stored on a file system, a command-line based user
|
||||||
|
interface for managing Genode subsystems, and the addition of Linux/ARM as
|
||||||
|
Genode base platform.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The full story behind these and many more changes is detailed in the
