Re: waiting for RPC method to be called

Hi Ben, The 'Genode' way would be not to block for RPC, but to only run the component during RPC or signal handling. If you need a component to execute between RPC calls then signal handlers would be the way to go. A private signal handler can perform the operations you need and block for RPC by

Re: Genode affinity, multi-core separation and service encapsulation (core inferences)

CPU balancing is pretty easy to manage at a higher level. For example, the Nim runtime balances additional Genode threads automatically, because the common high-level case is to create a thread pool for each CPU and push jobs to it. In other cases I assume that a thread will be blocked or block an

Re: getaddrinfo - Error: libc suspend() called from non-user context (0x117549a) - aborting

Hello Johannes, The message "libc suspend() called from non-user context" indicates that you are using POSIX I/O from the initial Libc::Component 'kernel' context, and not the 'user' context. To switch to a user context, supply user level code as a lambda to the 'Libc::with_libc(...)' function.

Hello Alexander, I'm glad to hear that our networking options are expanding! The 'lwip_tcpip_init()' should be called implicitly by the 'libc_lwip' library, so I believe your problems come from double initialization:

Re: Libreboot and GuixSD

Hi Dawson, Genode is not directly bootable as a coreboot payload but is bootable from GRUB. As far as I know all the of the supported kernels on x86 use the multiboot standard, which is the same as Hurd, so you can cross-reference GRUB config snippets between the two. I'm a bit suprised you

Re: XML editing for dynamic subsystems

Hey Norman, Extending the package management to cover some runtime configuration sounds great. Making subsystems clean and self-contained will be very helpful for distributing compositions that contain a lot of configuration. On Fri, 5 May 2017 11:46:45 +0200 Norman Feske

Re: Socket fs

Hello Boris, In my opinion, once you start using TCP/IP, you cross a complexity threshold where it makes sense to use high-level langauges or networking libraries. The alternative would be to use the lwIP raw API and avoid libc, but this is not exposed right now. Another option would be the Rust

Re: Roadmap 2017

Re: Build issue..."Not a git repository"

Re: [genode-main] network implementation example (for Parallella Board)

Hello, If you want a really simple UDP example there is a TFTP client that uses the lwIP raw API. You can use the libc for "standard" sockets, but if performance isn't much of a concern than I think starting out with lwIP is a more pleasant choice.
