Asterinas: a new Linux-compatible kernel project – OSnews

Linux Driver Development with Rust

Linux device drivers affect the stability of the whole operating system. Running in the kernel space, device drivers handle critical resources and low-level operations. That’s why ensuring driver security and reliability is paramount. With built-in security features, Rust helps you prevent memory safety issues in C-based Linux kernel code and create a robust solution out […] The post Linux Driver Development with Rust: Benefits, Challenges, and …

Asterinas: a new Linux-compatible kernel project – OSnews

Asterinas is a new Linux-ABI-compatible kernel project written in Rust, based on what the authors call a “framekernel architecture”. The project overlaps somewhat with the goals of the Rust for Linux project, but approaches the problem space from a different direction by trying to get the best from both monolithic and microkernel designs. ↫ Ronja Koistinen at LWN.net Ronja Koistinen has done an outstanding job diving into this new operating syst…
