Hi Roberto, Yes there are still people (me) working on the afterburner. Mostly internal prototyping though, far less attention is spent to the external project pages.
Here's a quick suggestion on getting UP afterburner/pre-virtualization to work (I've sent that to l4ka a while ago): - Download the afterburner via mercurial - No need to download pistachio or IDL tools etc., the afterburner make script will download it - check out and inspect the sample config.out files in afterburner/configs, e.g., - choose sample-config.out if you'd like to have para-virtualized linux guests - choose sample-config-hvm.out if you'd like fully-virtualized guests (WARNING: WORK IN PROGRESS). Works only with Intel VMX - create a build directory, run "make -f path/to/afterburner/Makefile", copy your favorite sample config into "build/config.out", run "make menuconfig" to edit the settings, finally run "make world", which will produce binaries in "build/boot" - make "run-qemu" runs the afterburner in qemu Just a quick tip: use gcc and g++ Versions 3, e.g. by running make CC=gcc3 CXX=g++3, or by putting "CC=gcc3" and "CXX=g++3" into the local build Makefile. -Jan -- Jan Stoess System Architecture Group University of Karlsruhe Phone: +49 (721) 608-4056 Fax: +49 (721) 608-7664 eMail: sto...@ira.uka.de -- Jan Stoess KIT/UKa System Architecture Group Phone: +49 (721) 608-4056 Fax: +49 (721) 608-7664 eMail: sto...@kit.edu > -----Original Message----- > From: l4ka-boun...@ira.uni-karlsruhe.de [mailto:l4ka-boun...@ira.uni- > karlsruhe.de] On Behalf Of Roberto Jung Drebes > Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 7:18 AM > To: l...@ira.uni-karlsruhe.de > Subject: Device Driver Reuse > > > Hello there, > > Is there anyone still working on the afterburner project?
