The overarching theme of Genode 22.08 is the emerging phone variant of Sculpt OS, touching topics as diverse as USB ECM, Mali-400 GPU, SD-card access, telephony, mobile-data connectivity, the Morph web browser, and a custom user interface. Among the further highlights are new tracing tools, improved network performance USB smart-card support, and VirtIO drivers for RISC-V.
Genode never fails to impress.
Perhaps a story on what Genode is why anyone should care would be nice.
Genode has been around for almost as long as I’ve been a member of OSAlert. In the early days, a short description of the project used to be included as it was new, but I don’t see why it needs to be included every time, anymore. The project name makes it pretty clear that it’s a OS framework. If that’s something you think you’d be into, additional information is provided on their website. The only news here is that there’s a new release of a project that has been around for 10+ years.
Simply put: “Lego” for operating systems.
A framework that allows you to combine different kernels (from small microkernels to full linux-kernel) with a flexible userland.
