Abstract

This document describes release 1.0 of the L4 microkernel for the MIPS R4x00 microprocessor family. It is based on the L4/x86 reference manual Version 2.0 by Jochen Liedtke and has been modified to describe the MIPS implementation. Some material has been added to clarify the L4 message structure. Comments and critiques, as well as proposed additions and alternatives for future versions are most welcome.
