Next stop for Infix OS before we maybe go visit a conference is to add 4G/LTE support (I know, but thatโs all we can afford without corporate backing). Today we got access to the source code one of our customers use, so that should speed things up considerably ๐
Iโm also working on the first WebUI but itโs slow since Iโm no expert. Maybe itโs like they say, slow and steady wins the race?
On a mission to improve our blog, today I added some more bells a whistles to get post preview on social sites. Let's try it out here!
Much thanks to the solid foundation curated by Buildroot, Infix can quite easily be ported to any system that supports Linux. The only real hardware requirement is โenoughโ RAM and storage, and if the board has a built-in switch, that it is supported by switchdev.
So, Infix OS has been upgraded to #buildroot 2026.02 LTS well in time for our 26.03 release. We've actually been tracking it since -rc1, so this was more of a formality to rebase and rerun our regression tests. Mattias (lazzer) worked relentlessly on this, while still managing to do a ton of other things as well.
Looking forward to our next release, hopefully my BPi-R64 porting work will be done by then as well ๐คฉ
Today we finished another huge milestone for our little operating system. Another release of a completely open and free system based on Linux.
A task that just twenty odd years ago would have been extremely hard to pull off. Weโve managed to do it for three years now, and with a small yet highly skilled team.
Automation, and designing the architecture for automation with YANG, really is the key to our success.
Hope to soon share a blog post on how we've adopted and are now in progress to promote the #Banana_pi BPI-R3 to tier 1 status in #infix it's quite an affordable #SOHO switch/router and home gateway.
Infix?
Infix is a 100% YANG based OS for embedded (networked) devices that you can control remotely using #RESTCONF and #NETCONF
Sorry, Mastodon does not render multiple links well, here's the link to Infix OS, which you might've been looking for your whole life?
Phew, finally finished modeling the firewalld syntax in YANG! I've had to make some really hard choices and limitations, studying the evolution of firewalld's syntax to guide me. Glancing over the fence to Ubiquiti for clearer terminology when appropriate.
This will now be put through some rigorous peer review and testing before we release it in Infix OS later in the year.
Now I can finally get some sleep in! ๐
Preparing for another release of our amazing little #OpenSource project Infix. It's a tiny little OS for networked devices, currently without even a web interface.
The one smoking hot driving feature is standards compliance, and chief amongst them is #NETCONF Sure, we'll support #RESTCONF soon too, but the real hero of this tale is #YANG <3
Stay tuned for more.
Today is officially the last day at NSCON for me. After almost 13 years I decided to leave the company I was Co-Founder because of personal reasons. ๐
Many thanks to all employees, colleagues, partners, and customers who worked together with me during the past years. Iโm very thankful for all the support and the great projects we accomplished together as a team. ๐ค
Now Iโm looking for a new challenge in the area of IT Networking with focus on Network Programmability and Automation! ๐ค
