# Xenolith Origin

> Firmware for kiosks and operator panels. You write the interface on a PC,
> flash the board, and update the fleet over the network. Native UI on the
> screen. No engine royalties. Previously called Xenolith Fleet OS.

## What it is

- You debug the app on a computer. The same app runs on the board.
- The image is small (~150 MB with GPU). The system partition is read-only.
- The picture goes straight to the panel — no browser, no window manager.
- Linux with a GPU is what we ship. Embox and NuttX run the same app when
  you need a real-time kernel.
- Update the app without reflashing. Update the system with a spare slot
  and automatic rollback. A web console lists the devices.

## Boards we have tested

- Raspberry Pi 4 — 60 fps on the GPU, about 20 s to a usable screen
- Radxa Zero 3E and Radxa Rock 5C — hardware graphics
- The same three boards on Embox over HDMI
- QEMU for development
- Raspberry Pi 5 and VisionFive 2 are next

## Status

Works now: Linux kiosk on three boards; app updates without reflashing; Embox kiosk.
Still finishing: fleet console; NuttX kiosk.
Next: Pi 5, VisionFive 2, faster boot.
