OSkerros
OSkerros is an operating system kernel concept that emphasizes a layered architecture and modularity. The design aims to separate concerns by placing essential services in a microkernel-like core, while most system services run in user space as modules. This structure promotes portability across hardware platforms and enables easier experimentation with subsystem implementations.
Architecture and design: The core handles inter-process communication, scheduling, and memory management, while a hardware abstraction
Features: Real-time scheduling options, support for multi-core architectures, and optional POSIX compatibility. A modular file system,
Development and licensing: OSkerros is released as open-source software and maintained by a dispersed community of
Applications and reception: OSkerros is used primarily in education, research, and embedded contexts where a small,
