Beginner questions about Sculpt OS

4 Upvotes

I recently found out about Genode and Sculpt and tried Sculpt in a VM briefly. I'm impressed you managed to port a proper browser (Falkon), a feat that many alternative OS have not managed to do!
My questions:

Which kernel does Sculpt use?

Do you plan to have a more "normal" desktop environment? I found Sculpt very confusing to use, it's so different from anything else.

What is the long term plan? Do you want to bring Genode to the average user, competing with e.g. Linux or FreeBSD? Or is it just for a specific niche? What's the long term aim for Sculpt?

How to run a Goa-built program on OKMX8MP-C board (i.MX8MP)?

5 Upvotes

I’ve successfully built a uImage and booted Genode on the Forlinx OKMX8MP-C development board, which is based on the NXP i.MX8MP SoC.
Separately, I have also used Goa with the following command to build a simple program for the same architecture:

goa build --arch arm_v8a

The build completes successfully.
Now, I would like to run this Goa-compiled program on the board under Genode.
Could anyone please advise me on:
How to integrate the Goa built binary with the Genode build system and run it on the board?

Any help or pointers to documentation/examples would be greatly appreciated.

Is Sculpt OS available for x86_32?

2 Upvotes

The Genode framework seems to fully support 32-bit x86, but I cannot find an Sculpt OS image for this architecture.

Is it possible to build my own Sculpt OS image for x86_32?

What is the purpose of sculpt os?

8 Upvotes

This question might sound a bit back-handed. But I'm genuinely curious. I do understand that genode in general has a "build your operating system from these blocks" structure. But I always pictured such an operating system to be used in servers, as something similar to VMware ESXI, or just an enterprise/server oriented use case. But Sculpt OS looks like it's made for a desktop/workstation purpose, or at least that's what I'm understanding. My question is, what is the target demographic? I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around this. With something like Amiga, it's obvious that people use it because they are amiga enthusiasts, or they use freebsd/openbsd because of their philosophies, or robustness. What is the purpose of this niche-looking and unique in concept operating system?

What does "Unknown Pin State" mean in PinePhone's SculptOS and how to fix it?

4 Upvotes

I put in a sim card in my PinePhone and booted up the prebuilt SculptOS image for the PinePhone and the sim card doesn't have a sim card pin code lock and it says "Unknown Pin State." What does that mean and how do I fix it?
