Does anyone pay attention to Google's new operating system fuchsia
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? Xilong Pei Tongji University Shanghai, China 2016/8/24
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? Best Regards Christian Stroetmann

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].

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:
