Various tutorials for using seL4, its libraries, and CAmkES.
Follow the instructions for setting up your host environment on the seL4 docsite.
This tutorial repository is part of a larger collection of repositories, which are required to run the tutorial and are coordinated in a manifest file. See this guide on how to check out a consistent set.
Once you have that, a tutorial is started through the use of the init script
that is provided in the root directory. Using this script you can specify a
tutorial and target machine and it will create a copy of the tutorial for you to
work on.
Example:
mkdir build_hello_world
cd build_hello_world
../init --plat pc99 --tut hello-worldThe init script will initialize a build directory in the current directory and at the end
it will print out a list of files that need to be modified to complete the tutorial. Building
is performed simply be invoking ninja, and once the tutorial compiles it can be tested
in Qemu by using the provided simulation script through ./simulate
The -h switch to the init script provides a list of different tutorials and targets that
can be provided to --plat and --tut respectively.
Most tutorials support any target platform, with the exception of hello-camkes-timer, which only supports the zynq7000 platform.
You can also download a VirtualBox virtual machine appliance(md5) (3GB, based on Lubuntu 16.04.1 with all the seL4 tutorial prerequisites installed).
This appliance is based on VirtualBox 5.1.2. You may also need to install the appropriate VirtualBox extensions available from the same page.
To view the solutions for a tutorial instead of performing the tutorial pass the --solution flag
to the init script
Example:
mkdir build_hello_world
cd build_hello_world
../init --plat pc99 --tut hello-world --solutionAfter which it will tell you where the solution files are that you can look at. You can then
do ninja && ./simulate to build and run the solution.
Please report any issues you find in the tutorials (bugs, outdated API calls, etc) by filing an issue on the public github repository: https://github.com/seL4/sel4-tutorials/issues/
Due to custom written additions to the build system specifically for the tutorials they are not appropriate for learning how to create and structure new applications/systems. Future tutorials for this will be forthcoming. For now it is suggested to look at other existing applications for ideas.
A walkthrough of each tutorial is available on the docs site
The slides used for the tutorial are available in docs.
The seL4 manual lives in the kernel source in the manual directory.
To generate a PDF go into that directory and type make.
You will need to have LaTeX installed to build it.
A pre-generated PDF version can be found here.
CAmkES documentation lives in the camkes-tool repository in docs/index.md.
