Road Map for 2021 | 2021-01-15
##############################
| In 2021, we plan to bring Genode to the Pinephone, advance the framework's
| GPU support, and focus on development workflows.
During the annual road-map discussion on Genode's public
[https://genode.org/community/mailing-lists - mailing list],
the following hot topics for this year emerged.
First and most inspiring for many Genode developers, we aspire to have
Genode running on the Pinephone with basic feature-phone functionality by the
end of the year. Since this will involve substantial device-driver-related
developments, the team will take this line of work as an opportunity to
advance the tooling and workflows for carrying out such tasks. This, in turn,
will hopefully ease the on-boarding of new driver developers in the future.
Closely related to the Pinephone scenario, the project will make optimizations
a top priority this year. The opportunities are plenty, ranging from
micro-optimizations, over API refinements, to architectural changes if
needed.
Another recurring topic is the request for GPU support, which is required
by many modern workloads such as video conferencing or streaming on mobile
device. Therefore, we will revamp our past developments of GPU multiplexing
on Intel hardware while also starting the investigation of GPUs on ARM-based
devices.
More information about our review of the past year, this year's focus, and a
rough schedule are presented at our official
