From invisible foundations to a platform you can use.
Frames deliberately front-loaded kernel, runtime, hardware and certification work. The next phase turns that foundation into a visible, interactive developer environment while reliability work continues in parallel.
Independent runtime core
UEFI boot, memory, interrupts, SMP, userspace, syscalls, VFS and read-only NVMe.
Persistent storage-write Gate 1
Begin persistent storage-write Gate 1 on sacrificial QEMU media while preserving the 70/70 runtime and 8/8 stress baseline.
Frames Developer Console
Keyboard input, native display output and commands that inspect the actual running OS.
Developer + storage platform
SDK, system tools, networking, filesystem browsing and HelixFS development on disposable media.
Controlled physical qualification
Disposable removable media first; internal-drive writes remain gated until independently certified.
Developer / consumer preview
Graphical shell, installer, updates, recovery, SDK and broader PC hardware support.
Compatibility + Frames Lab
Isolated compatibility environments and integrated development/testing capabilities.
