Rust for Linux — in space

Wednesday December 13, 2023. 06:28 PM , from LWN.net
The Rust for Linux (RFL) project may not have (yet) resulted in user-visible
changes to the Linux kernel, but it seems the wider world has taken notice.
Hongyu Li has announced
that the Rust for Linux code is now part of a satellite just launched
out of China. The satellite is running a system called RROS, which follows the old
RTLinux pattern of running a realtime kernel alongside Linux. The realtime
core is written in Rust, using the RFL groundwork.

Despite its imperfections, we still want to share RROS with the
community, showcasing our serious commitment to using RFL for
substantial projects and contributing to the community's
growth. Our development journey with RROS has been greatly enriched
by the support and knowledge from the RFL community. We also have
received invaluable assistance from enthusiastic forks here,
especially when addressing issues related to safety abstraction

(Thanks to Dirk Behme).
