Norman Feske 6d837c9e26 Attach affinity information to session requests This patch extends the 'Parent::session()' and 'Root::session()' functions with an additional 'affinity' parameter, which is inteded to express the preferred affinity of the new session. For CPU sessions provided by core, the values will be used to select the set of CPUs assigned to the CPU session. For other services, the session affinity information can be utilized to optimize the locality of the server thread with the client. For example, to enable the IRQ session to route an IRQ to the CPU core on which the corresponding device driver (the IRQ client) is running.		2013-08-13 17:08:25 +02:00

README

This repository contains the Device Driver Environment for the
"donator OS" iPXE available from http://ipxe.org/.

For building DDE iPXE, you first need to fetch and patch the original
sources. The top-level makefile of this repository automates this
task. Just issue:

! make prepare

Now, you need to include the DDE iPXE repository into your Genode
build process. Just add the path to this directory to the
'REPOSITORIES' declaration of the 'etc/build.conf' file within your
build directory, for example

! REPOSITORIES += $(GENODE_DIR)/dde_ipxe

After successful build the DDE iPXE based ethernet driver is located
at 'bin/nic_drv'.
