Welcome to Fiasco.OC!
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Fiasco is a microkernel and an be used to construct flexible systems. We at
|
|
TU Dresden use it as a base for our TUD:OS system which supports running
|
|
real-time and time-sharing applications as well as virtualization
|
|
concurrently on one system. However, Fiasco is not only suitable for big and
|
|
complex systems, but also for small, embedded applications.
|
|
|
|
This distribution contains the Fiasco.OC microkernel and tools to build
|
|
it. User level applications are not included in this package.
|

Building the Fiasco kernel
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
To compile Fiasco you need a recent version of gcc and a recent version of
|
|
GNU binutils, GNU make and Perl version 5.6 or later.
|
|
|
|
Change to the directory fiasco/l4/kernel/fiasco/ and
|
|
create a build directory with "make BUILDDIR=build" and change to the
|
|
'build' directory. Optionally modify the default configuration using
|
|
"make menuconfig". Then compile the kernel by typing "make".
|
|
|
|
The kernel image can then be found in fiasco/l4/kernel/fiasco/build/ as
|
|
'fiasco'.
|
|

Remote SVN
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The latest development versions are available from our SVN server.
|
|
The truly bleeding edge will want to check out daily snapshots from there.
|
|
However, be aware that these may not always run correctly.
|
|
You can also get user land programs for L4 from this SVN.
|
