Rust-Based Redox OS Gets RISC-V Working, Also Now Booting On The Raspberry Pi 4

([Operating Systems] 86 Minutes Ago Redox OS Progress)


The Redox OS open-source Rust-based operating system project is out with their newest monthly development update.

Some of the progress made over the month of October on this original Rust-based open-source operating system include:

- RISC-V is now a supported target for Redox OS. Andrey Turkin and Jeremy Soller have been working a lot recently on the RISC-V support and have gotten it to the point of running Redox OS with a desktop under the QEMU emulator.

- The Raspberry Pi 4 is now booting Redox OS. It gets to the login screen but still USB support and other features are to be completed.

- Redox OS has ported over the COSMIC Store:

- Various ACPI driver updates.

- The pkgar package format is now enabled by default.

- LuaJIT and other software has been ported over to Redox OS.

"I'll tell you what I know, then," he decided. "The pin I'm wearing
means I'm a member of the IA. That's Inamorati Anonymous. An inamorato is
somebody in love. That's the worst addiction of all."
"Somebody is about to fall in love," Oedipa said, "you go sit with
them, or something?"
"Right. The whole idea is to get where you don't need it. I was
lucky. I kicked it young. But there are sixty-year-old men, believe it or
not, and women even older, who might wake up in the night screaming."
"You hold meetings, then, like the AA?"
"No, of course not. You get a phone number, an answering service
you can call. Nobody knows anybody else's name; just the number in case
it gets so bad you can't handle it alone. We're isolates, Arnold. Meetings
would destroy the whole point of it."
