CAmkES: Component Architecture for microkernel-based Embedded Systems

An example CAmkES system

The CAmkES platform provides a solution for quickly and reliably building complex microkernel-based embedded systems software.

Status

The CAmkES platform for seL4 has been released as open source (under a BSD license). It is available as part of the seL4 open source release and is hosted on GitHub.

Current areas of active CAmkES research include:
