Hi Ali, thanks for giving Genode a try and for your encouraging words!

This is correct. Thanks for pointing this out. This detail is certainly missing in our documenation. > 2.

For the Pandaboard, I would currently recommend to use 'foc_panda' because it is more mature. You will have to issue 'make prepare' in the 'base-foc' repository to use it. All the other steps should be the same. > 3. Nitpicker gets noticeably unresponsive when a new process is being > launched. What's the reason behind this in layman's terms?

At the start time of launchpad, the program will generate a bunch of textures for GUI (i.e., for the window background). This takes a bit of time. Because in the current version of base-hw on the Pandaboard, caches are not enabled, this procedure takes much longer than normally. However, this will change soon: ;-) https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/468 https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/466 Those patches are not yet merged into mainline. We could observe that they remedy the issue. Until the patches are merged, you may give 'base-foc' a try to see how well the interactive demo can perform on the Pandaboard. > 4.

This is new to me (maybe because I mainly used 'panda_foc' for the Pandaboard). Have fun with further exploring Genode and thanks for the feedback! Cheers Norman -- Dr.-Ing.
