Yes, you could use Minoca to manage GPIO and other low level hardware. One area where we&#x27;re working to excel is power management. There&#x27;s so little in the OS that we&#x27;re able to go very idle, and stay there for long periods. Another area we&#x27;re focused on is component level servicing: being able to update components within the kernel while maintaining a high degree of stability.<p>To user mode we&#x27;d like to present a largely compatible interface, while in the kernel we want to innovate using new designs and a clean slate.
