We present LionsOS, an operating system for security- and safety-critical embedded systems. LionsOS is based on the formally verified seL4 microkernel and designed with verification in mind. It uses a static architecture and features a highly modular design driven by strict separa- tion of concerns and a focus on simplicity. We demonstrate that LionsOS achieves excellent performance on system-call intensive workloads.
