Dec. 30 (Portaltic/EP) –

Google continues to advance in the development of the operating system Fuchsia OS and this has been demonstrated in a recent event SDK Bootcampheld at the beginning of December, in which he has brought together a group of developers who work on the creation of applications and own products for said operating system.

The company began development work on Fuchsia OS in 2016, a operating system using the Zircon kernelself-developed, instead of linux -like Android-, and that it can run Android applications.

The tech giant has already implemented Fuchsia OS on Nest Hub smart displays in 2021, about a year after the launch of these devices, and also on Nest Hub Max last June.

During this time, the Fuchsia developers have focused on ensure that Linux and Android applications can be transferred to this other operating system. To do this, use the starnix system, which is designed to make it possible for Fuchsia to run apps and libraries initially built for Linux or Android.

However, as it has picked up 9to5Googlethe company has realized that You can’t always depend on Android and Linux apps if you want to thrive. For this reason, he has organized a SDK Bootcamp eventdestined to advance in software development in which the goal was create self-developed applications for the platform.

One of the objectives of this bootcamp has been getting improvements for a source code editor extension VS Codewhich implements the functionality needed to work on Fuchsia OS development. In fact, this extension has been downloaded up to 500 times, according to 9to5Google, which indicates that a large part of the company’s developers are currently working on projects related to Fuchsia.

This boost from Google would be a sign that the Fuchsia OS project is thriving and that the company will use it in the future. With this, from the aforementioned medium they have stressed that Google has intention to move forward with the project Fuchsia to run this operating system on the new Google Nest smart speakers, which will be released in 2023.
