Google proceeded to the spread of a new firmware based on OS Fuchsia , for smart photo frames nest hub max produced since 2019. At the first stage, the Fuchsia firmware will begin to be delivered to the participants of the Google Preview Program program, and if there are no unforeseen problems during the trial implementation, the firmware will also be used on the devices of the rest of the Nest Hub Max.
.
Nest Hub Max photo frame has become the second consumer device equipped with the Fuchsia operating system. The first Fuchsia firmware a year ago received a Nest Hub model, which has a smaller screen and the absence of a built -in video camera. Despite the replacement of the operating system in the firmware, the user interface and functionality are fully preserved and end users should not replace the differences, since the interface is built on the basis of the Flutter framework and abstracted by low -level components. Earlier, in the Nest Hub Max devices, combining the functions of the frame for photos, multimedia system and interface for managing the smart home, firmware based on the CAST shell and Linux nucleus were used.
Fuchsia OS has been developing Google from 2016, taking into account deficiencies in the scaling and ensuring security available in the Android platform. The system is based on the micro-yref=”https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/concepts/kernel/”> zircon , based on the developments of the project LK , expanded for use on various classes of devices, including smartphones and personal computers. Zircon expands LK support for processes and divided libraries , user level, system processing system based on capability . Drivers are realized in the form of dynamic libraries operating in the user loaded by the Devhost process and controlled devices manager (DEVMG , Device Manager).
