The network equipment use case is especially interesting here. Genode has tremendous potential for a wide range of embedded systems, enabling strong security features combined with memory efficiency--a combination that is difficult to obtain other ways.
While x86 support is good, the embedded landscape is dominated by ARM, and currently Genode seems to have weaker driver support for small modern ARM systems. The Wand Quad would be a good platform to develop in this regard (vs, say, Arndale). Rpi would be another. (We've had little luck getting Genode running on any recent model of rpi, but maybe it wouldn't take much to change this.) // Steve Harp On 12/27/2017 10:15 AM, Christian Helmuth wrote: > > Additionally, I'd like to explore more options for Genode as an OS for > network equipment.
