CodeOS

https://github.com/Ronaldo82ba/CodeOS

A true operating system with its own userspace, app model, and UI.

CodeOS is not Android, not a ROM, and not a skin. It ships its own kernel boundary (CodeKernel), service-oriented core (CodeCore), modular system services (CodeServices), application framework (CodeFramework), system UI (CodeUI), developer SDK (CodeSDK), and desktop simulator (CodeSim).

Author: Ronaldo Mijares · Version: 0.1.0

Vision

• True OS — owned userspace, app model, and UI stack
• Simulator-first — develop on desktop; port to Linux + QEMU ARM later
• Service-oriented core — CodeCore boot, IPC bus, service registry
• Message-based IPC — no shared memory in v0.1
• First-class apps — .capp packages with codeos_manifest.toml
