I first encountered them made for aerospace for DO-178B. What's the oldest one you know like a separation kernel whose design details are publicly described? I like giving proper credit and knowing the history.
For me, we went from security kernels to Rushby's concept to separation kernels. Then, they did aerospace versioms first since safety requirements were already a subset of security requirements. Plus, aerospace companies would actually buy it. Hard to sell that stuff in non-regulated markets.
- Nokinside 8y agoI'm not good at history of operating systems. Separation kernel is efficiency thing. The oldest and most secure way to solve the same problem is separate computers and put data diodes between them if necessary. Need for integrated modular avionics was the driving force for the development. Aircraft have space and weight limits.
