Aevornix OS
An operating layer for open computing.
Overview
What Aevornix OS is
Research into the operating layer for open devices: the system services, permission model, storage and networking interfaces, and application lifecycle that sit between the portable runtime and the machine.
Architecture position
Where this sits in the stack.
Portable and vendor-independent by construction: standard interfaces and open targets, so software moves across the ecosystem rather than binding to one platform.
RVStack architecture, 7 layers from top to bottom: 01 Application, 02 Development toolchain, 03 Portable runtime, 04 Operating layer, 05 RISC-V architecture, 06 Device profile, 07 Deployment target.

- Development toolchainCompiler, linker, debugger, SDK and build systems.ELFDWARF
- Portable runtimeExecution services shared across supported RISC-V targets.
- Operating layerSystem services, permissions, storage, networking and application lifecycle.POSIX-style system interfaces

- Device profileDefined hardware capabilities used for emulation and compatibility testing.
- Deployment targetPhysical devices, virtual environments, cloud targets and certified platforms.linux-riscv64
The questions being researched
- What an application may ask of a device, and how that is granted
- How applications start, suspend, resume and are terminated
- How storage and networking are presented consistently across profiles
- What the operating layer must guarantee for the runtime above it
Position in the stack
This is layer 04 of the RVStack architecture: above the portable runtime and the toolchain, below the instruction set. Nothing here is implemented; the architecture position is the decided part.
Development
Where the work stands.
Objectives and dependencies. Dates appear only where a specific verifiable event backs them.
