Hi Julian, Thanks for your interest. As far as Pandaboard release is concerned, it just runs on hardware. Unfortunately QEMU doesnot have support for OMAP4 and we are too busy to add it :). We have rectified the wiki page to reflect this too. Also, please note we do not supply any tools, QEMU/Insight, with Pandaboard toolkit release for the above mentioned reason only. > - I do have a Beagleboard xM though.

As far as Beagleboard is concerned, yes we do have Codezero build for Beagleboard running on *QEMU* but it has some issues on actual hardware and we have not got enough of the time to fix it. Its in our to do list. > - Regarding source code, my understanding is that the toolkit does not > provide source code for the hypervisor itself, it just provides a > prebuilt version and source code for user land libraries and stuff. > Git repository for hypervisor source code (codezero.git, not > codezero-toolkit.git) seems to be 7 months old, i.e. does not > correspond to 0.4.1.

Toolkit is just meant for application development and contains no sources for the kernel. If you need hypervisor sources, please write to i...@b-labs.com. -- Thanks Amit Mahajan _______________________________________________ codezero-devel mailing list codezero-devel@lists.l4dev.org http://lists.l4dev.org/mailman/listinfo/codezero-devel_lists.l4dev.org
