Embedded Xinu is an ongoing research and implementation project in the area of Operating Systems and Embedded Systems. Its original goal was to re-implement and port the Xinu Operating System to several embedded MIPS platforms, such as the Linksys WRT54GL router. Since then, Embedded Xinu has been ported to other platforms, such as the QEMU MIPSel virtual environment and the Raspberry Pi; see the list of supported platforms. Although Embedded Xinu is still being developed and ported to new platforms, a laboratory environment and curriculum materials are already in use for courses in Operating Systems, Hardware Systems, Embedded Systems, Networking, and Compilers at Marquette University and other colleges/universities.
