[Barrelfish-users] Problems with the MMU and a different memory layout

[Samuel Hitz]

Hi Daniel,

Sorry for letting you wait. I'm pretty busy with writing my thesis...

What you say is correct. This should be a mov r1, r2 or mov r1, pc (doesn't
matter). As for your other problem, if you are sure the copying and
expanding stuff is working correctly then the error is probably somewhere
when you create your mappings. Did you change BOOT_STACK_PHYS accordingly
to reflect your memory layout? Otherwise the first mapping fails. I'd
suggest changing the line
and     r2, sp, r3
to
ldr r2, =0x20000000
anyway, since it's much clearer what you are trying to do.

You should also change the domain permissions back to client, since you
won't get any permission faults otherwise (just an advice for later). What
are you trying to achieve with the code right before activating the MMU?

cheers,

Samuel
