Cool Hidden features in OKL4 2.1 (Part 3)

3. Availability of l4test

For the first time, OK is making available a suite of unit tests that tests OKL4 microkernel functionality.  This project is the perfect target to use when bringing up a new port of OKL4 as it removed iguana from the equation and therefore allows you to get up and running more quickly.

Only a minimal set of SoC device functionality (serial for debugging output, timer and interrupt controller) is required.  Plus each unit test narrows focus on a particular subset of kernel functionality, so it's much easier to incrementally build up support for a new SoC.

About Abi Nourai:

Abi Nourai - Sales Director has recently relocated from Sydney to OK's Paris office, and even more recently, made another move to London. The journey was a little easier this time round. Abi is excited about using the OKL4 technology he helped develop as an undergraduate to solve business problems for the mobile and embedded spaces. Abi gets away from it all by indulging in fine cuisine, roaming through museums, and hopping around Europe's many great cities.
