A test of #RISCOSMerlin exploring the PCIe bus in full on AArch64 (works on AArch32, x86 and x86_64 too) and the part I love the most is the fact that Merlin Kernel and HAL can do safe tear down of all direct and indirect allocated resources when healing from faulty driver, yup!
ALT RISC OS Merlin exploring a PCIe bus and being able to recover from any issues without crashing the entire system. Because Merlin's HAL is standardised across ARM, RISC-V, Intel/AMD and more this works on every supported platform.

One of my favorite features in #RISCOSMerlin, the kernel recovers from when legacy modules fail to initialise. Proper protected calls implementation that give Merlin an impressive level of robusteness even during the delicate phase of system startup.

ALT An example of how Merlin's Secure Calls work and recover when a Kernel Module fails to initialise. This allows merlin to survive pretty bad issues durign both system start up or modules loading. There is more about RISC OS Merlin security and resiliance here: https://paolozaino.wordpress.com/portfolio/merlin-a-modern-memory-safe-kernel-and-platform/

Some people asked about performance, so here is a video of #RISC_OS #Merlin booting (instantly) and running a graphics demo in #QEMU, Merlin is using its own software framebuffer in this demo, not yet GPU acceleration:

I finally had a bit of time to upload a video with the first system boot into graphic demo for #MerlinOS It works fine on @raspberrypi 2, 3 and 4, but the video is from #QEMU which makes it easy to record both kernel logs and Pi 2 display
