Port LegoOS to CloudLab or Emulab #1

Open lastweek opened 6 years ago

lastweek commented 6 years ago

Folks who tried out LegoOS encountered many different issues. And a system setup should not expose so many low-level details. Besides, many folks may not have necessary hardware platforms.

That being said, I think we should try to look into CloudLab and Emulab, see if we could setup LegoOS there.

Things need to look into:

1) Hardware: CTX-3 IB card. If it is RoCE, we may need to patch our drivers because I remember I removed some RoCE stuff. 2) CPUs: if it is a generation we can run 3) root access: can you get the root access and install a new kernel and reboot machine? 4) NIC card: checkout what card they are using and the possibility of porting that driver 5) serial switch

Oh I finally notice this! Our group is trying to deploy LegoOS on Cloudlab machines. Are there any recommended hardware types or profiles which are most compatible with LegoOS? We are really struggling with it now. Thanks so much!
