About Minoca OS
Minoca OS is an open-source, general purpose operating system designed specifically for feature-rich embedded devices. It's got all the high-level functionality that you've come to expect from an operating system, but offers it in a fraction of the memory footprint. The driver API separates device drivers from the kernel, enabling driver binaries to remain compatible even when the kernel is updated. Driver separation allows for automatic loading and unloading of device drivers on demand. Hardware layer API allows for a single unified kernel, even on ARM. No need to maintain a separate kernel fork. A unified power management architecture allows for smarter power management decisions, leading to better device battery life. Fewer background tasks and wake-ups from idle means machines can reach deeper idle states and save even more power. Proprietary and non-GPL source licenses are available, keeping options open for your customers and end users.
