Google Fuschia's Magenta Kernel

Fri Mar 10, 2017 9:33 pm

It seems like google's homegrown micro kernel magenta works well(ish) on the rpi3
here are the links if you want to try it out:
Main build guild: https://github.com/fuchsia-mirror/magen ... started.md
Rpi3 Specific guild: https://github.com/fuchsia-mirror/magen ... ts/rpi3.md

oh yeah remember, the sdcard should be larger than 32MB, had a hard time finding one of those... :mrgreen:

Do you think LK could run on the VC4?

Smallest I have is 128MB, I use them for piCore and Ultibo testing.
Been going through all our old mobile phones and MP3 players looking for cards.
Found some 256MB :lol:

Maybe talk to all the phone/camera recyclers.
Hmm cameras, I have not checked ours.

Small cards are SLC not MLC like the new ones, so they should last longer and be more reliable?
Do you need to get high speed ones when the OS is so small?

Magenta is heavily based off LK, so in a way it does.

ofc, at least a 100mbps.
