Google has recognized the development of a third operating system called Fuchsia OS, and has revealed the main details of this operating system, its purpose, and the devices it may operate, although the system is still unclear.
Hiroshi Lockheimer, president of Android, and Chrome, at the Google I / O 2019 Annual Developers Conference, presented some rare ideas about Fuchsia OS to the masses.
Google also included Fuchsia OS as a platform supported by the Flutter application development framework, and explained that this framework is used as a basic way to create Fuchsia OS applications.
The information known to date about Fuchsia OS is an open source project, similar to AOSP, but is capable of operating all kinds of devices, including smart home appliances, laptops and smartphones.
It is also known to be based on a completely new kernel from Google, called Zircon, formerly known as "magenta", which is not the Linux kernel that forms the basis of Android and Chrome OS.
There is no other information, and only a quick look at the UI model of this operating system was seen two years ago.
There have also been reports over the past 12 months about Google's Fuchsia OS development tests on Pixelbook computers and vague product development timeline plans that show the official release of the first Fuchsia OS in three to five years
In addition, it is believed that Google's Google Home Hub, now called the Nest Hub, is a Fuchsia OS test device.
"We're looking at a new format that could be the operating system, and I know there are people who say that this is the new Android system, or this is the new Chrome operating system, but Fuchsia OS really is not," Lockheimer said.
"Fuchsia OS is about trying to push the latest developments in terms of operating systems, and what we learn from this operating system, we can integrate them into other products."
The goal of the pilot operating system is to test different standards, he said, referring to Fuchsia OS's ability to work on smart home appliances, wearables, or even enhanced reality devices.
"We know that Android works well on phones, and we know that the Chrome system works well on computers and is capable of running Android applications, but Fuchsia OS may be optimized for some other hardware, so we're experimenting, think of custom devices. Everyone assumes that this system is for phones, but what if it can be used for other things. "
