Virtcon

Virtcon is the system terminal. It is a critical part of bringup and provides graphical output with minimal hardware requrements.

Legacy Virtcon

The legacy implementation is written in C++ and graphical output is limited to bitmap text and basic primitives such as pixel aligned rectangles. Legacy Virtcon can be found in virtcon/.

New Virtcon

The new version of Virtcon is written in Rust and powered by Carnelian. Carnelian enable advanced vector graphics and truetype text rendering while maintaining minimal hardware requirements.

Goals

  • Minimal resource usage.
  • Maximize code reuse with Terminal app.
  • Boot animation for startup and shutdown.
  • Runtime product configuration.
  • Flicker free single framebuffer mode.

Roadmap

  1. Boot animation chime support.
  2. Silent boot system for runtime suppression of chime.

Testing
