This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts: :_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the appropriate 'base-' directory. :_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything together. _Core_ may export information about the hardware platform by an ROM called 'platform_info'. Depending on the platform, e.g. ARM or x86 or riscv, and depending on the boot mode and boot loader and kernel, some nodes may not be populated. ! ! ! ! ! ! If the ACPI RSDT and XSDT physical pointer is reported by the used kernel and/or bootloader, _Core_ may provide this information by the ROM. If the graphic device is initialised and can be directly used by a framebuffer driver, _Core_ may provide the physical pointer to the framebuffer, the resolution and color depth in bits.
