- ok, i was hoping for a technical discussion but have not yet seen one :-(
-
- I have to date heard one technical tidbit:
- it is a "micro-kernel", but the rest of the important stuff is in a very
- large blob that sits just outside the micro-kernel. In other words, process
- managment, file systems, etc. are in one module.
-
- So, anybody know the breakdown? Is the structure reminiscent of the old Apollo
- OS with process control in a module, file system in a module, etc.?
- Any timings on process creation, i/o throughput from process to process, etc. ?
- Anybody written a driver yet? What's it like?
