Direction, not date promises.
Work is grouped as Done, In Progress or Exploring, in sync with the repository README and TODO.
Done
Shipped · runs on QEMU / hardware
- AArch64 exception model + MMU virtual memory (EL0–EL3)
- SMP preemptive scheduler per-CPU + load balancing, split scontext/xcontext
- Capability access control CNode / VSpace / Endpoint / Timer / Futex / IRQ
- Migrating-thread synchronous IPC + endpoint-pool elastic IPC
- Upcall mechanism kernel → userspace call forwarding
- SystemDaemon procmgr / memmgr / ipcmgr / virtmgr
- EL2 Type-1 hypervisor stage-2 · vGIC · vTimer · vPMU
- Leveled initcalls LV0–LV7
- Loadable kernel modules CFS scheduler plugin
- 12 framework services window / file / network / device / app / font / audio…
- Graphics stack + 14 apps LVGL · FreeType · PortableGL · 800×480
- GN/Ninja + IDL tooling service interface code generation
- Four boot platforms QemuVirt · Pi3B · Pi4B · CM4
In Progress
Tracked in the repo TODO
- Process-exit resource release completing capability, memory and IPC resource reclamation when a process dies
- Service startup dependencies adding deps declarations to service configs so init builds the launch order from the dependency graph instead of a fixed sequence
Ongoing polish
- Performance tracing extending perf / perfmgr coverage across subsystems
- Documentation keeping design and interface docs in sync with the implementation
Exploring
Stubbed or scoped directions
- Trustee / TEE trusted execution environment (
sys/trustee/is currently a stub) - Fastcall high-performance kernel-inline call path (currently a stub)
- More scheduler classes policy plugins beyond CFS on the module system
- Deeper AI agent framework tighter agentmgr integration with system services
Progress lives in the repository.
