    Hi,

    Was going through the shared source code and was trying to figure out how the kernel gets initialized...

    1. Does kernel get assigned PID=0?
    2. With a min-kern configuration for headless device, the kernel creates 2 threads (from the PB Help). Is this correct?
    3. For ARM based implementation, I can calculate where the Translation Address Table should be located for our implementation, but while stepping through the code, I find a different address. Where does this get set? How do I correct this?
    4. While stepping : KernelInit() -> calls -> SchedInit() -> calls -> VirtualMemoryAlloc(). This function is returning 0xc2010000 which is a non-mapped address and hence the function MDCreateThread() that uses this address fails. Does this sound like a good address - it looks like it is looking at the wrong location for the translation tables.

    Any inputs appreciated.

    Regards,
    jm
