We have made the port of the Genode OS Framework to L4ka::Pistachio publicly available.
Genode is a new OS architecture that leverages a strict organizational process structure and is thereby able to align dynamic application workload with low TCB complexity. A high-level overview about the architecture is provided at our website: http://genode.org http://genode.org/home-page/documentation/general-overview The Genode OS Framework is the reference implementation of Genode. It is developed by Genode Labs, a small company founded in May this year by two former members of the TU Dresden OS group. For a quick test of Genode on Pistachio, we have compiled a small (3MB) ISO image: http://genode.org/genode-2008-12.iso You can try out this image via qemu ('qemu -cdrom genode-2008-12.iso'). It features our default demonstration scenario including several graphical applications and native device drivers for VESA and PS/2 input. Because our experience with using Pistachio was overly positive so far, we plan to make the Pistachio support a regular part of the Genode distribution with the next release scheduled for February. If you like to look a bit deeper into Genode, the following website provides you with Pistachio-specific information about building and starting Genode: http://genode.org/community/wiki/GenodeOnL4kaPistachio Thank you for your great work on Pistachio!
