They would need to completely reset to do that. Do BSDs even have rust support for their drivers?

- throwway120385 2y agoI believe it's a microkernel, so in the sense that every driver is a separate userspace process, yes.
- School-Cotton 2y agoThat’s not true. BSD (including all the existing flavors/descendants AFAIK) has a monolithic kernel. Perhaps you’re confusing it with XNU? (Which is Mach merged with some BSD stuff).
- gpm 2y agoFor what it's worth, the Oxide Computing people have written illumos driver(s) in rust: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/opte/tree/master/xde https://github.com/oxidecomputer/opte/tree/master/xde
- School-Cotton 2y agoIllumos is based on Solaris, not BSD.
