Hi Michael,

In seL4, all memory is managed by user level. In order to access any memory it 
must be mapped in to the current address space, at which point you can access 
that memory at will, as long as you have the correct capabilities. Capabilities 
to all untyped memory in the system are passed in the initial boot info 
structure to the initial task.


I'd need more information about the system you are using to give more concrete 
advice, but if you are using our vspace library in seL4_libs it has many 
functions to access the caps/addresses you need to access the memory.


Cheers

Anna.

Subject: [seL4] reading thread registers

Hello,

I know there exists a function seL4_TCB_ReadRegisters, which can read the 
registers of a certain thread, given a/the capability to the thread.

Ultimately, I'm interested in reading memory at runtime to determine whether 
the data I expect is present.

So I'm wondering, is there in seL4 an init process, whose registers contain all 
the working memory of the system?

And furthermore, how can I access a capability to a given thread in order to 
pass it into the ReadRegisters function mentioned above?

Cheers,
Michael
