Kernel Project

The non-distribution specific Deos Kernel project.

Description

This is a placeholder for the work performed across multiple kernel experimental and verification baselines. I.e., roadmap sorts of topics.

Perhaps this would be better handled as a "product" page like we did on the legacy wiki.

These are the current Kernel projects in work:

• Elbert (AKA 7.10)
  • 36-bit Support (Deos RAM and FLASH still limited to 32-bit).
  • Part of Sybil
• Elbert++ (A baseline following Elbert. Unverified release ~ 8/1/2012, Verified ??/2013)
  • E500 SPE support (kernel only, not math).
  • Thread aware debugging.
  • Complete Sybil
• Fourpeaks-- Unverified release ~ 8/28/2012, Verified ??/2013
  • 653/WAT
• Fourpeaks release schedule depends on Chino
  • MIPS
  • Deos Cache Partitioning

Roadmap

These are the substantive changes that have been proposed for the kernel, and our current thinking of their release schedule.

• ARM support
• Multicore (on legacy wiki)
• More than 32-bit Deos RAM and FLASH
