  1. https://github.com/auxoncorp/ferros Lots of type-level programming for tracking resources, hardware access, and capabilities at compile-time and trying to bring some of the underlying kernel guarantees up to the compiler because finding…

  2. My company, https://www.auxon.io . We created https://github.com/auxoncorp/ferros originally to enable a customer project early in the company's life cycle. Some time later we had another customer interested in using it and having us add…

  8. We also built a Rust framework called FerrOS ( https://github.com/auxoncorp/ferros ) atop the formally-verified seL4 microkernel. It has a similar set of usage idioms to Hubris it looks like in terms of trying to setup as much as possible…
  9. …for assembling software for use-case-specific/appliance computing, not general purpose computing. ( https://github.com/auxoncorp/ferros ) In the process we learned a lot about how to interface with the kernel, etc. from the work and…
