Is Tinyx available in the source repository?

[stevepp]

Hi,
In the SOSP paper talking about LightVM, a tool called Tinyx is used to create minimalistic Linux VM images customized to a specific target application. I am just wondering whether this build system is also available in the LightVM source repository as I didn't find it after searching around. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give some pointer.

Hi Steve, Unfortunately Tinyx isn’t clean enough at this point for it to be released as open source (all other components of LightVM should be available). We’re working on improving it, but we don’t have a specific release plan for it.

Hi, any progress on this? I've read the paper which introduces it and would love to see specifics, implementation and to test it myself.

Hi Alexander, guys from Oregon State University are taking over this project. Could you please contact Akshith (in cc). Also we would like to ask you to keep us (sysml@listserv.neclab.eu) in future communications about Tinyx.

@akshithg Any update on this? I would imagine this tool would be very useful for a ton of people.

@hyperfekt There hasn't been any significant progress on this. I'm currently working on the kconfig system. Big picture:

1. A graph to understand how the kernel config options relate to one another.
2. Figuring a way to obtain a bare minimum config for a given application (automated).
   It is still a work in progress. Will share the link here once it is usable.
