Re: [seL4] Does anyone pay attention to Google's new operating system fuchsia

Hello Mehdi So far I got the picture already. Nevertheless, thank you for pointing out these facts once again. The report [2] seems to be bought, because it is misleading the public and potentially infringing a copyright related with another system. Despite of these, I do prefer a verified microkernel, such as seL4, and for example OntoLix and GenodeOS on top of it look much more promising. Also, I do not see a convincing reason for reinventing the wheel all the time. Best Regards Christian Stroetmann On the 24th of Aug 2016 at 13:37, Mehdi Amiri wrote:

Hi Christian,

As far as I know Fuchsia is the new OS on top of Magenta kernel. The kernel is not a verified L4 microkernel such as seL4, it's just a new microkernel on top of embedded LK [1] kernel to target modern ARM64 and x86 architecture. It currently supports QEMU and newer versions of Raspberry Pi.

You can get more information here [2].

Kind regards Mahdi

Hello Xilong

So we have here also a alternative or competitor to Genode OS. Let us wait, when Google will present its verified L4 based microkernel.

I took a quick look on the referenced code repository, but could not find the link to Google. Can you tell me where you found this information?

Hi,

Google has announced a new operating system fuchsia, https://github.com/fuchsia-mirror Its kernel is called Magenta, Magenta has a capability-based security model, this is very similar to seL4.

Does anyone pay attention to Google's new operating system fuchsia?
