Overview
How Open Nexus is built: a small RISC-V microkernel in Rust, thin service daemons over safe libraries, and the one security boundary that matters.
NEURON Kernel
NEURON is a minimal capability-based RISC-V microkernel in Rust: a 14-syscall surface, deny-by-default capabilities, and a small trusted computing base.
Services & Userspace
How Open Nexus runs drivers, storage, networking and the GUI as thin userspace daemons in Rust, outside the RISC-V microkernel and its trusted computing base.
How We Prove It
Every performance and security claim about the NEURON RISC-V microkernel is backed by a benchmark or test you can re-run yourself in QEMU.
Codebase Map
Where everything lives in the Open Nexus source tree: the NEURON microkernel, the Rust userspace services, the GUI stack, and the RISC-V board support.
Research & Papers
Published papers behind Open Nexus: capability-based microkernel design, deterministic IPC, and validation methodology for a RISC-V operating system in Rust.
