Sokaris/Ilumnos don't run inside vehicles, maybe one day they will. Can you give an actual production example? Unikernels on the other hand, do actually run on vehicles. There are a few embedded runtimes based on the same architecture. They have debugging support to attach to graphical debugger, probes, JTAGs, and a few other vendor specific tools. Of course someone trying to sell me Solaris/Illumnos, will have prejudice to anything else. |

Inside of a vehicle, not yet; production example, yes.
Back in the day, there was a kernel bug which prevented Solaris 10 installer from booting on systems with a Pentium III processor. The workaround was to boot the kernel with -k, let it crash and drop into kdb, then patch a certain kernel structure and drop out of the debugger, continuing execution. The same mechanism would work in a car or a Boeing 787, which I understand were actually running Solaris as the control & navigation system.
