    Tock OS

    Tock OS

    A secure embedded operating system for microcontrollers

    Tock is a secure, embedded operating system designed for microcontrollers and low-power hardware platforms. Written in Rust, it uses a novel kernel architecture where the OS runs a minimal trusted core and all userland code, including device drivers, is sandboxed and isolated. Tock is ideal for IoT devices, wearables, and embedded research projects where reliability and safety are critical. Its capability-based security model and preemptive multitasking allow developers to safely run multiple applications on constrained devices with confidence in memory and fault isolation.

    LiteBox

    LiteBox

    A security-focused library OS supporting kernel execution

    LiteBox is a security-focused “library OS” sandboxing project that aims to shrink the interface between an application and its host environment to reduce attack surface. Instead of relying solely on broad OS-level permissions, it focuses on isolating workloads by tightly controlling the boundary where code interacts with host services and system resources. The design emphasizes interoperability across different integration layers, describing a separation between “North” shims (how apps or runtimes plug in) and “South” platforms (where the sandbox runs), which helps the system adapt to multiple deployment contexts. ...

    Dokany

    Dokany

    User mode file system for Windows

    Dokany is the fork of Dokan, a user mode file system library that lets you easily and safely develop new file systems on the Windows OS. When creating new file systems on Windows, you need to develop a device driver that works in the kernel mode on Windows-- a difficult task without technical Windows Kernel knowledge. Dokany makes it easy. It enables you to create these file systems without device drivers, and is completely free to download. It is similar to FUSE, and also offers compatibility with a FUSE file system.

    Another rockchip Operating System. This OS came about from an initial fork of The Retro Arena to support a roms folder on a NTFS partition so that the management of roms could be done by simply putting you SD card into an appropriate card reader on a Windows 10 computer. Through various upgrades and tweaks overtime, it has diverged significantly from TheRA and it's time to rebrand this distro. With suggestions provided by community members, ArkOS was chosen.
