[coyotos-dev] About coyotos tutorial

[Hunt Lin]

Hi everybody,

I have tracked the coyotos project for a long time, this year early,
the tutorial directory appeared under the project source tree. It was
quite excellent!

However, when I build the project, I found the tutorial stuffs are
just dummy. Because as I type "make all" under the tutorial directory,
I got many faults.

I look in coyotos/src/tutorial/ex1_HwPollAndAdvise/outline.txt, it
said that the example will tell us capidl/mkimage usage. But now it
can't.

To survive, I download the capros source code, I also find the
tutorials, and I can make them run as module in grub. I imagine the
coyotos would do it as well.

I put the coyotos/src/sys/arch/i386/kernel/BUILD/coyotos in the boot
directory, and modify the grub menu.lst as follows(like capos):

  title coyotos
  root (hd1,0)
  kernel /coyotos
  # module _some_module_ type=load

The kernel boot fine, but finally it appeared "Processing 0 module, No
object preload modules!", how I want to make a module maybe just
HelloWorld!

It is so difficult for me to rework the tutorial projects to make it
run without help now :( So If someone can first implement the some
tutorial stuffs, and then I think many other developers like me will
be funny in hacking the code and understand the how capabilities carry
out.

PS: I don't know if there is some technological reason to do it
difficultly, just as you must first setup the whole architecture's API
and then done the examples?
