Genode OS Framework release 21.11

Genode 21.11 is packed with device-driver and platform related improvements. First, our support for the Allwinner A64 powered Pinepone now enables first interactive scenarios due to the ported framebuffer and touchscreen drivers. Also, the i.MX 8 platform now benefits from a new USB host controller driver and the initial port of the Vivante GPU driver. Hardware-accelerated graphics with Intel Gen9+ GPUs was also enabled by improving our custom GPU multiplexer and is now a regular feature of the Genode-based Sculpt OS that can be taken for a spin on commodity PC hardware. Last but not least, we polished our Xilinx Zynq support with the addition of the USRP E310 software-defined-radio device and added VirtIO input and framebuffer drivers.

Furthermore, our port of VirtualBox 6 reached feature completion with the addition of shared folders, shared clipboard, sound, and USB pass-through support.
