With great pleasure I would like to announce that FreeNOS v1.0.0 is released. With many years after the previous release, this version contains a long list of new features and improvements, including:

• ARMv6/ARMv7 architecture support (Raspberry Pi 1,2,3)
• Symmetric Multi Processing with MPI support (Intel x86 only)

• Devices (Raspberry Pi only):

  • USB controller and (root)hub
  • Loopback network and SMSC95xx ethernet driver
  • PL011 UART
  • ARMv7 generic timer
  • Broadcom 2835 timer, interrupt, mailbox, power and GPIO drivers

• Commands:

  • 10+ new commands, including mpiping, mpiprime, ipctest, sysinfo, bench and more

• Libraries:

  • libstd, for standard datastructures and algoritms
  • libipc, implements user-space IPC using shared memory (replaces IPCMessage())
  • libarch, provides architecture abstractions and platform specific code (including MMU)
  • libfs, filesystem abstractions and interfaces library
  • libmpi, basic Message Passing Interface (MPI) library
  • libnet, networking protocols library
  • libusb, generic USB implementation
  • libtest, generic test library for building autotesters

• Build system extended with configuration files for target/host compilers and multiple architectures
• Added basic networking (IP, UDP, ICMP, for Raspberry pi 1 only)
• Fully automatic autotester
• Example Jenkins CI scripts for continuous integration (Ubuntu/FreeBSD slaves)
• All sources re-documented with Doxygen (http://www.doxygen.org)
• All sources updated for latest GCC and LLVM compilers with optimization (-O2)
• Many stability improvements and bug fixes

Additionally, the FreeNOS website is completely redesigned using Bootstrap 4!
