starnix
is a runner that allows for running unmodified Linux binaries on Fuchsia.
Linux binaries are not run inside a virtual machine. Instead, starnix
creates a compatible runtime environment by implementing the Linux UAPI.
Check out RFC-0082
to learn more about the motivation and design of starnix
.
The main entry point to starnix
is the ffx starnix
tool.
Check out the README
for instructions to run Linux binaries, tests, or an interactive Android shell.
Patches that improve Linux compatibility are welcome. If you want to report a bug or file a feature request, create an issue in the Starnix component in Issue Tracker.
