Running and using Fiasco and L4Re components
- Systems to use
- hardware requirements
- virtual machines
- QEmu
- Fiasco-UX
- VMware
- Virtualbox
- Boot from CD
- Boot from TFTP server
- serial console
- Booting
- GRUB
- building patched grub
- menu.lst
- Enhanced GRUB1 patches
- This grub1 version is maintained. You can send patches.
- GRUB2
- Images
- Call 'make help' in the l4/ root directory to get a listing of possible image generation targets
- See l4/conf/Makeconf.boot.example for more information on customization
- u-boot:
- Call 'make uimage E=entry' to generate an uImage
- Load into u-boot (tftpboot, usb-stick, flash, ...)
- bootm ....
- ELF images: make elfimage E=name
- loadable with any loader that understand ELF (including GRUB, Lauterbach, ARM RVDS, QEmu)
- Raw images: make rawimage E=name
- copy into RAM at the start address, set PC to start address and run
- On ARM the images relocate itself to their linked address, i.e. they can be put anywhere in RAM (copying them to the right place will make booting faster of course).
- Qemu
- Go to obj-dir root
- Call 'make qemu E=entry'
- For Qemu customization (esp. on ARM) see l4/conf/Makeconf.boot.example and add options to your l4/conf/Makeconf.boot
- Virtualbox
- Go to obj-dir root
- Call 'make vbox E=entry'
- You need a configuration virtual machine in vbox for that to work. Check l4/conf/Makeconf.boot.example to see how to configuration vbox specifics.
- You may omit the E=entry which will present you a menu to choose the entry to generate/start from.
- GRUB
