There is an unfinished port of illumos to ARM.
Solaris was traditionally used for embedded applications (such as flight control systems in airplanes) and it is ideal for embedded applications because it has miniscule memory and processor requirements.
- icedchai 7y agoLinux is not slow. I wrote a device driver that ran on Linux ARM and was capable of handling thousands of external events per second.
