No. XAIOS has its own freestanding kernel, userspace ABI, applications, and filesystems. FreeBSD is its primary reference for portable Unix command and protocol behavior, not its kernel ABI.
No. Programs must be built for the XAIOS ABI and packaged into the image.
The ARM and x86_64 QEMU core-OS paths boot and provide processes, threads, filesystems, IPv4/IPv6, SSH/SFTP, local and remote shells, administration, storage lifecycle operations, and diagnostic applications. See Home and Applications.
Provision an Ed25519 public key, boot QEMU, then run:
ssh -p 7788 -i build/local-ssh/admin admin@127.0.0.1See Getting Started and Networking and SSH.
Development images use admin / xaios for isolated QEMU and Fusion testing.
This is a public development credential. Set XAIOS_SSH_PASSWORD_AUTH=0 for a
key-only development build. Release images contain no built-in password and
reject password authentication.
No. The declared QEMU core-OS correctness gate passes, but physical hardware, independent security review, production key management, and real-model parity remain open. See Current Limitations.
Not yet. Model-v2, architecture adapters, backend interfaces, and scalar packed kernels are foundations. No official checkpoint has completed tokenizer, logits, deterministic decode, and physical-hardware acceptance.
QEMU provides reproducible boot, ABI, fault, protocol, CPU-count, and device correctness tests on ARM and x86_64. It cannot establish physical performance.
Not under Apple Virtualization.framework. It does not emulate a guest CPU architecture: the guest executes on the host's own cores, so on Apple Silicon the guest is AArch64 and an x86_64 kernel cannot boot, in any macOS release.
Rosetta in that framework does not change this. It translates x86_64 Linux
userspace binaries inside an AArch64 Linux guest and needs binfmt_misc,
a virtiofs share and the Linux syscall ABI; it does not run a foreign kernel.
Use QEMU x86_64 on the Mac, or an Intel host.
Only in Project Tracker. GitHub issues may hold discussion, but they are not a second status authority.
XAIOS is a freestanding Unix-like operating system. QEMU and VMware results are correctness evidence, not physical performance or production certification.
