Fiasco.OC is a microkernel originally developed by the OS group of the
|
|
TU-Dresden. Nowadays, it is primarily maintained and developed by
|
|
the company Kernkonzept. It's an object-oriented capability-based system
|
|
for x86, ARM, PowerPC and MIPS platforms.
|
|
|
|
This document provides brief instructions about downloading, building and
|
|
booting the Fiasco.OC version of Genode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
#############
|
|
|
|
You need certain tools to use the Fiasco.OC build system. On Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
systems you have to install the following packages:
|
|
|
|
! apt-get install make gawk g++ binutils pkg-config g++-multilib subversion
|
|
|
|
Moreover, you need to download and install the tool-chain used by Genode. Have
|
|
a look at this page:
|

Building the Fiasco.OC version of Genode
|
|
########################################
|
|
|
|
The current version of Genode is available at the public Github repository:
|
|
|
|
:http://github.com/genodelabs/genode:
|
|
Github repository of Genode
|
|
|
|
After you've fetched the Genode source tree from the git repository, or
|
|
downloaded the latest release tar archive, you need the Fiasco.OC source code,
|
|
its kernel-bindings, additional bootstrap tools etc. To simplify that step,
|
|
you can use the 'prepare_port' tool:
|
|
|
|
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port foc
|
|
|
|
This will install all necessary third-party source code in the 'contrib' folder.
|
|
|
|
Now, go to a directory where you want the Genode/Fiasco.OC build directory to
|
|
remain. Use the helper script in the 'tool' directory of the Genode
|
|
source tree to create the initial build environment. You need to state the
|
|
build directory you want to create, and the hardware architecture to run
|
|
Fiasco.OC/Genode on. Choose 'x86_32', 'x86_64', or one of the available ARM
|
|
boards.
|
|
|
|
! <genode-dir>/tool/create_builddir x86_64
|
|
|
|
Now, go to the newly created build directory and type make:
|
|
|
|
! cd build/x86_64
|
|
! make KERNEL=foc
|
|
|
|
This will build the Fiasco.OC kernel, its bootstrap code, and every Genode component,
|
|
that runs on top of Fiasco.OC.
|
|
|
|
If you just want to give Genode/Fiasco.OC a try, you can call e.g.: the demo run-script
|
|
instead of building everything:
|
|
|
|
! make run/demo KERNEL=foc
|
|
|
|
|
