#NEXUS NEW OS 2017 SOFTWARE#
For example, the OS is built on Magenta, a "medium-sized microkernel" that is itself based on a project called LittleKernel, which is designed to be used in embedded systems (computers that have a specialized function and often don't need an actual operating system, like the software in a digital watch). Looking into Fuchsia's code gives us a few clues.
#NEXUS NEW OS 2017 ANDROID#
Some people think it could be used to "unify" Chrome OS and Android into a single operating system (a plan that was first rumored last year, with the new OS said to be scheduled for a 2017 release), while others say it could be used to power hardware like Google's OnHub router or third-party Internet of Things devices.įuchsia's core code is designed to be lightweight So what is Fuchsia for? There have been a number of suggestions. All we really know is that this looks like a fresh start for Google, as the operating system does not use the Linux kernel - a core of basic code that underpins both Android and Chrome OS. The fledgling OS has a number of interesting features, but so far Google has yet to comment on its intended function. The project's name is Fuchsia, and it currently exists as a growing pile of code on the search giant's code depository and on GitHub, too. Here's a puzzle: Google appears to have started work on a completely new operating system, but no one knows quite what it's for.
