Sorry, but I have no experience with coding drivers, and I'm unfamiliar with the relevant hardware interfaces. As for AHCI, after recording a video of Genode's output (serial communication isn't working), I found that it does annonce sevice "Block", however part_blk doesn't give any output whatsoev

Greetings fellow Genodians- Norman, I like where Genode is going! I currently run my copy of Win7 inside or VirtualBox hosted via Mint Linux 17... it's unfortunate that full support for VBox guest USB access (I gather) requires the instillation of Oracle's VirtualBox Extension Pack

Like Norman, I would like the year 2015 to be “the year of the Genode Desktop” [sic] and focus more closely on refining certain components and completing their functionality, i.e. using multiple USB storage devices at the same time, being able to resize a terminal window, having audio support on ne

Thanks, Norman. I totally missed the other constructor in Rpc_in_buffer in my rush to implement a Solution! I'll use your suggestion on the small buffer object. Bob Sent from my android device. -Original Message- From: Norman Feske To: genode-main@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Mon, 22 D

I originally thought that the AHCI driver wasn't working, but my issue may be with the part_blk driver. The part_blk driver never starts, but AHCI announces service "Block". Any help? -- Dive into the World of Parallel Prog

Hi, Is there a mechanism for passing an array of 8_bit register values in RPC calls when using base-hw? I see the Rpc_in_buffer class but that's designed for string arrays not arbitrary binary value arrays. The use case is for implementing an I2C server which has multiple clients each of which
