Special Notes for this Release
Features Introduced in This Release
General
- HelenOS switched to the Meson build system. Among other things, this enables faster and reliable incremental builds as well as building out of the source tree.
- The Malta machine now requires a boot command line argument to tell the userspace console layer which serial device to use as console. In the previous release this setting was baked in the kernel. Starting with this release, use the following command line to start HelenOS/mips32 Malta emulation in QEMU. Note that the console path is dependent on the PCI bus topology and might change between configurations.
$ qemu-system-mipsel -cpu 4Kc -kernel image.boot -append "console=devices/\\hw\\pci0\\00:0a.0\\com1\\a" -nographic
- It is now possible to boot HelenOS using U-boot on Raspberry Pi, in addition to booting it directly from the SD card.
- Partial support for dynamic linking on ia64.
