Although Google has confirmed that the Fuchsia operating system is applied to the Nest Hub, it has earlier removed the Fuchsia operating system-related coding content from the AOSP project.
However, Google may use the “Starnix” project exposed last year to continue the original use model of Fuchsia operating system in Android, that is, through the “Starnix” project to act as the translation medium between the Linux underlying kernel architecture and Fuchsia’s Zircon kernel architecture, Allows Linux or Android-related application services to run “natively” in the Fuchsia operating system.
If this adjustment is made, it means that the Fuchisia operating system is still related to Android, not just for Nest Hub products.
Google has previously stated that it will not replace the existing Android with the Fuchisia operating system, which means that the two operating systems will be provided in a coexisting form in the future, and the Fuchisia operating system will obviously lock in a larger application market for IoT devices, while the Android operating system will be used. It will continue to focus on the application development in the relatively stable market fields such as mobile phones, tablets and vehicles, and also develop more possibilities through the AOSP project.
However, Chris McKillop, product manager and engineering director of the Fuchsia operating system, has decided to leave Google, which obviously casts a shadow over the future development of this operating system. At present, Google has not disclosed the development direction of this operating system. This time, the relevant code was removed from the AOSP project, which made many people speculate about the future development of this operating system.
