Fuchsia architecture
The following architectural principles guide Fuchsia's design and development:
Simple:
Fuchsia makes it easy to create, maintain, and integrate software and hardware across a wide range of devices.
Secure:
Fuchsia has a kernel and software model designed for modern computing.
Updatable:
As a modular operating system, Fuchsia allows the kernel, drivers, and software components to be independently updatable.
Performant:
Fuchsia is designed for real world product requirements and optimized for performance.
The core of the system is
Zircon
, a kernel and collection of
libraries for handling system startup and bootstrapping.
All other system components are implemented in user space and isolated,
reinforcing the principle of least privilege. This includes:
- Device drivers
- Filesystems
- Network stacks
