Loading of software modules at runtime vs. loading at boot time.

[Dr. Florian Manfred Grätz]

Dear Genode community,

I am gradually digging into the details of the Genode framework and was
thinking about compiling a Live-CD. My intension is to give
unexperienced users a first impression of Genode by simply downloading
an .iso image and either booting it into their real machine using a
thumb drive or using an emulater like qemu/virtualbox. Please refer to
my last post for the rationale behind it.

The good news is, that genode-world seems already to provide a set of
software packages, which have been ported. However, I am currently under
the impression, that genode currently is not capable of loading software
modules at runtime. Instead, it appears to me, that all required
software modules are linked into a large elf file, which is then loaded
during boot time. Am I missing something crudential here or is loading
of modules at runtime not yet implemented?

Regards, Florian.

Genode is capable of loading software at runtime, but the current standard
behavior is to put everything into a large elf file for simplicity. I'm not
aware of a good way to override that, but you shouldn't need to anyway.

I suggest you look at the Heeslicht scenario (
https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/2018) for more information on
how to build a live Genode system.
