Building Hanlon Micro-Kernel (MK)

I am posting a quick cookbook on creating hanlon microkernel for easy reference. Detailed information on how the microkernel organized and build along with details on each of the command listed here can be found on git hanlon microkernel wiki

 

1. Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools -y
sudo apt-get install -y fakeroot
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full -y
sudo apt-get install curl -y

 

2. Install Ruby (I prefer using rvm)

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
source /home/user/.rvm/scripts/rvm

 

3. Clone hanlon micro-kernel project into your working directory (my directory ~/wspace/hanlon/hanlon-mk)

cd
mkdir wspace
mkdir hanlon
git clone hanlon-mk
cd hanlon-mk

 

4. Clone hanlon micro-kernel project into your working directory (my directory ~/wspace/hanlon/hanlon-mk)

cd
mkdir wspace
mkdir hanlon
git clone hanlon-mk

 

5. Create bundle file: This would create a temporary tar file containing all necessary files to complete iso creation process

cd hanlon-mk
./build-bundle-file.sh -d -t test1234 -b additional-build-files/builtin-extensions.lst -m additional-build-files/mirror-extensions.lst

This would create hanlon-microkernal-bundle-<mode>.tar.gz. Mode of the file depends on dev/debug/prod switch selected with build-bundle-file.sh

 

6. Create iso file structure with tar file

cd bundle_files
tar zxvf hanlon-microkernel-bundle-debug.tar.gz
fakeroot ./build_initial_directories.sh

This would create a directory structure to be used for the microkernel iso file. build_initial_directories.sh should be run as root. Because I do not prefer installing ruby at root, I am using fakeroot to work around the issue.

 

7. Create final iso file

./rebuild_iso.sh
Build the mk iso (in my case it is hnl_mk_debug-image.2.0.0+2-g99e078f.iso). File is naming follows the convention hnl_mk_<mode>-image.<version>-<git-stamp>.iso

Just Buzz... Where is AI?

Speaking to Recode’s Kara Swisher and MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Pichai said AI is “one of the most important things that humanity is working on. It’s more profound than, I don’t know, electricity or fire,” adding that people learned to harness fire for the benefits of humanity, but also needed to overcome its downsides, too. Pichai also said that AI could be used to help solve climate change issues, or to cure cancer. We are seeing some exciting things in the industry, Samsung’s massive 8K TVs apparently use AI to upscale lower resolution images for the big screen. Sony has created a new version of the Aibo robot dog, which this time promises more artificial intelligence. Travelmate’s robot suitcase will use AI to drive around and follow its owner wherever they go.  Kohler has invented Numi, a toilet that has Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built in etc., But despite all this, it does leave me wondering: is artificial intelligence really what we should be calling this revolution?...

AI gets smarter and more practical

We all know AI is coming to the forefront of technology in the form of machine learning (ML) and deep neural networks, where AI can understand the surroundings and apply that information to the current context, whether it is about data pattern analysis or driving a vehicle. Coupled with increasing capabilities of AI hardware, in 2018 we can expect: AI research will reach new heights in the fields of neural networks and generative adversarial networks. Cooperative learning among networks will lead to hybrid intelligence. Continuous evolution of AI will empower enterprise-scale business processes with intelligence and agility. AI will redefine the IT landscape with smart machines and borg systems. Read the complete article on DXC technology trends for 2018

Evolving App Paradigm

Over last two decades we have seen enterprise application landscape changing very rapidly with rapidly evolving technology stacks and changing industry dynamics. It is time for another paradigm shift in terms of how we conceptualize, design, develop, test and maintain our applications to meet volatile business requirements. Some of the prime features of this evolving paradigm Flexible business user centric infrastructure (than IT centric) IT as a service model with emphasis on user self service. Flexible development and deployment infrastructure which is readily available over cloud (no setup time, no high budgets and initial spending) Develop application using modern development languages which help improve the developer Usage of more dynamic meta programming languages Reusable assets, code generators, ... Build once and run anywhere across platforms and devices End-to-End application lifecycle integration through ALM and DevOps Improve communication and collaborat...
