Talking Tock 61

x86 Working Group

June 20th 2025 by Brad

Following on Talking Tock #60(2025-05-15-talking-tock-60.md), we have established an x86 working group. This working group will steward Tock development (include userspace and tooling) related to Tock running on x86 platforms. With representation from multiple companies, the working group will help ensure x86 support grows while meeting the needs of Tock’s users.

Background on Working Groups

Tock uses a working group model to oversee Tock development for important sub areas. For example, the Networking WG oversees Tock’s support for subsystems including Thread and Ethernet, and the Documentation WG manages the Tock documentation and book. Currently, the Core WG serves as the backstop for all development not related to other working groups, and oversees the other working groups.
