Hi:
There are 2 mutually exclusive OKlinux Environments: OKL4 Cell and Iguana
Server. The default mode is OKL4 Cell and from the help options it is said
like this:
CONFIG_CELL:
This option will build OK Linux as a cell manager. This allows for native
drivers as well as virtual driver configurations.
CONFIG_IGUANA:
This option will build OK Linux as an Iguana application. This allows for
virtual driver configurations.
I understand that the IGUANA mode can't allow for native drivers but only the
virtual drivers configurations. But the CELL mode is much more compatible
with native Linux and we could use native drivers and virtual drivers at the
same time. Right?
In the default CELL mode such as the versatile and oklinux demo according to
the instructions of official document it seems that the OKLinux still uses
the native one-shot timer driver. So in the CELL mode there should be only
one oklinux, right?
But in the IGUANA mode the OKLinux uses the L4_CLOCKSOURCE and
obviously it is a virtual timer. In the IGUANA mode there should be multiple
oklinux instances.
My question is: why do you keep the CELL mode oklinux? Although okl4 is a
virtualization technology you should drop the CELL mode. Otherwise, there are
some other considerations to keep this mode or keep the native one-shot timer
in the oklinux.
Thanks.
