Due to several errors, multi-page lending did not work properly. To begin with, if a page was not allocated then it would not be able to be sent. That is, if you allocated 8192 bytes but only ever accessed the first 4096 bytes, then an error would be encountered when lending the unaccessed upper page. Furthermore, due to a striding error in accessing pointers, half-pages were treated as full pages. Signed-off-by: Sean Cross <sean@xobs.io> |

Xous Kernel
This contains the core kernel for Xous. It requires a stage 1 loader in order to start up, as it assumes the system is already running in Supervisor mode.
Building
To build the kernel, you will need a riscv32 target for Rust. Possible
targets include riscv32i-unknown-none-elf, riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf,
or riscv32imac-unknown-xous-elf.
- Decide what target you want. For simple, embedded systems this could
be
riscv32i-unknown-none-elf, and for more complex systems with compressed instructions you could useriscv32imac-unknown-none-elf. - Get Rust. Go to https://rustup.rs/ and follow its instructions.
- Install the proper toolchain:
rustup target add ${target_arch} - Build the kernel:
cargo build --release --target ${target_arch}
Using
To use the kernel, you must package it up into an arguments binary with
xous-tools.
Testing
TBD
