Genode OS Framework release 19.02 | 2019-02-28
|
||||||
|
##############################################
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Version 19.02 enhances Sculpt OS with a federated software provisioning
|
||||||
|
| model, showcases the use of Java for an IoT network appliance and the
|
||||||
|
| creation of a component-based web service, improves the runtime support
|
||||||
|
| for Ada and SPARK, and adds board support for i.MX6 Quad Sabrelite and
|
||||||
|
| Nitrogen6 SoloX.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our first release of 2019 pays tribute to this year's
|
||||||
|
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map] topic
|
||||||
|
of making Genode relevant and attractive for a broader community.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, it enhances Sculpt OS with an easy-to-use way to discover, install,
|
||||||
|
and integrate software originating from different providers into a running
|
||||||
|
Sculpt system. Conversely, software providers get a distribution channel
|
||||||
|
directly to the user, secured by cryptographic signatures. Unlike commodity
|
||||||
|
OSes that rely on app stores or distributions, there is no middleman between
|
||||||
|
software providers and users in Sculpt OS.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Second, it makes the world's most popular programming language - Java -
|
||||||
|
available. Our port of OpenJDK facilitates just-in-time compilation on both
|
||||||
|
32-bit ARM and 64-bit x86 architectures. The use of Java within a Genode
|
||||||
|
system is nicely showcased by an exemplary IoT network appliance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Third, to foster a strong sense of community, the release introduces a
|
||||||
|
Genode-based federated blogging platform, which enables users and
|
||||||
|
developers alike to share ideas, practical tips and tricks, and announcements.
|
||||||
|
[https://genodians.org - Genodians.org] is open for everyone to participate.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Other highlights of Genode 19.02 are the improved runtimes for the
|
||||||
|
Ada/SPARK and OCaml programming languages, and the added support for the i.MX6
|
||||||
|
Quad Sabrelite and Nitrogen6 SoloX boards.
