has a fully installed Ubuntu 8.04 desktop system with OKL4 and OKLinux sources
installed along with the appropriate toolchain. The OKLinux kernel

support so the target VM can actually communicate with the outside world if you
are running it under VMware Workstation/Player or ESX. The compressed tar

How to use this package to do OKL4 development.<br>
------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Hello, if your reading this, chances are that you have successfully booted up
the OKL4 VM that runs under VMware platforms: The package contains:<br>
<br>
oklinux.vmx - virtual machine definition for an Ubuntu 8.04
VM that
acts as the "development" platform for the 2.1
release of OKL4 and OKLinux<br>
<br>
oklinux.vmdk - the Virtual disk that contains all of the
software<br>
oklinux-s00x.vmdk -
upto 2G "segments containing the
virtual disk for the Ubuntu system<br>
<br>
iguana-vm.vmx - virtual machine definition for the intel
IA32
"target" machine<br>
iguana-vm.vmdk, iguana-vm-flat.vmdk - 100MB virtual
disk that will
hold the bootable OKL4 image<br>
<br>
There may be other files in the directory, but these are the files that are
absolutely necessary for development to take place.<br>
<br>
This directory is a little different from the typical VMware VM
directory. It actually contains TWO VMs, one is the development machine,
one is fhe target. The directory contains TWO .vmx definitions as well as
TWO virtual disks. Note tht the iguana-vm.vmdk is "shared"
between the two VMs, BUT NEVER WHEN BOTH VMS are powered on at the same time.
Essentially we start up the development VM with the iguana-vm.vmdk connected,
we build our target image, and load it onto this disk, urrently via the
command:<br>
<br>
dd if=.../build/image/c.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1024<br>
<br>
Thic creates a bootable image that the iguana-vm will boot from when it is
powered on. This disk is ALWAYS connected to the iguana-vm Virtual
Machine, but only connected to the oklinux VM when you are loading a compiled
image onto this disk to be used y the iguana-vm. <br>
<br>
You can build the basic OKL4 with OKLinux by executing the script<br>
./buildme<br>
<br>
in the okl4_2.1 directory. It will build everything in okl4_2.1/build and
start up the image in the qemu emulator.<br>
To break out of the qemu emulator, perform cntl-a-x<br>
<br>
You can do some basic testing via Qemu, when you are ready, <br>
cd build/images<br>
dd if=c.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1024<br>
<br>
when this completes, shutdown the development machine. When it's powered
off, edit settings and remove the iguana-vm.vmdk (100MB) from the oklinux VM
definition. Once you have done that, you can power on the oklinux VM and
when it is completely booted up, open Gtkterm, this is connected to /dev/ttys0
of the development machine, the other side is (virtually) connected to
/dev/ttys0 of the target VM, iguana-vm. Now, if your using Vmware
workstation, go to File->Open-> browse to
oklinux->iguana-vm->iguana-vm.vmx<br>
checkto make sure the 100MB iguana-vm disk is connected. Power on this VM and
then switch back to the oklinux console, you should see output spewing out of
the Gtkterm window and, if your lucky, a # prompt when the spew stops ;)<br>
<br>
<br>
How to change and remake the kernel for OKLinux<br>
------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
make sure to add ncurses support to your version of ubuntu<br>
<br>
<br>
cd linux/kernel-2.6.23-v2/<br>
then copy l4linux_config_<arch> to .config<br>
make menuconfig ARCH=l4 SYSTEM=i386<br>
select your desired configuration with the curses gui<br>
then copy .config to l4_linux_config_ia32_whatever<br>
make mrproper<br>
<br>
And add some code to tools/machines.py for a new target using your new<br>
linux configuration file.<br>
<br>
To enable DMA so that the VMware virtual ethernet device can perform DMA...<br>
