After the tremendous success of the Android operating system, Google is now working on a completely new OS called 'Fuchsia'. The catch, however, is that no one knows what the software is for.
While Google is mum about its intention of building Fuchsia, the project is currently listed on GitHub and the search giant's own code depository.
The fresh OS is touted to come with a host of interesting features. To begin with, Fuchsia does not use the Linux kernel- a core of basic code that underpins both Android and Chrome OS, The Verge notes.
There also have been a number of suggestions about the possible implementation of Fuchsia. Some believe that it could be used to unify Chrome OS and Android into a single operating system - a plan which falls in alignment with earlier rumours about a new OS that could be released by 2017. Other possible usage could mean powering hardware like Google's OnHub router or third-party IoT devices.
The code underlying Fuchsia highlights it being a lightweight software. It is built on Magenta which is a medium-sized microkernel based on LittleKernel. It is designed to be used in embedded systems which refers to computers which have a specialised function and often do not need a full-fledged operating system, for example the software used in a digital watch.
