Article series about combining Genode with FPGAs
Mar 20, 2023
In addition to our developer stories at https://genodians.org, we
started publishing specific tutorials at https://hackster.io for a
wider audience.
Hackster.io is a community platform for hardware
and software developers to share their personal and professional
projects. With over two million members and 30k open source projects
one can find comprehensive instructions and impressive projects for
a plethora of hardware/software platforms. Back in November, we launched
a distinct Genode channel and started publishing beginner-level
tutorials for the Zybo Z7 board.
Genode at Hackster.io
Since then, Genode developer Johannes Schlatow continued his
tutorial series about combining Genode with reconfigurable FPGA
hardware, specifically targeting Xilinx Zynq. In the latest
article "Taking control over DMA transactions on Zynq with
Genode", he introduces custom FPGA fabric for implementing
DMA protection that is normally not covered by Zynq hardware.
It exemplifies how well Genode and reconfigurable hardware
can go hand in hand. Please find this latest article among the
other Genode tutorials at the Hackster.io channel linked above.
