 == General presentation ==
 
-MutekA is a kernel-mode lightweight operating system for Multiprocessor System on a Chip.
-It is build from scratch targeting the POSIX thread API.
+DNA/OS is a replacement for MutekA, that has been withdrawn and is no longer supported.
+It is a kernel-mode lightweight operating system for Multiprocessor System on a Chip.
+It is build on top of a thin HAL to ease porting on new platforms and processor architecture.
+DNA/OS does not support virtual memory.
 
-MutekA is build on top of an Hardware Abstraction Layer that limits the porting
-effort.
 It currently targets the following architectures:
-  * ARM7 (http://www.ens-lyon.fr/LIP/Pub/Rapports/RR/RR2006/RR2006-12.pdf)
-  * Micro-Blaze, tested on a Spartan3 platform (3 processors, Motion-JPEG application)
-  * Sparc V8, MPSoC architecture build with !SoCLib
+  * ARM7, ARM9, Cortex A8/A9 (ISS not yet available in SoCLib)
+  * MIPS
+  * MicroBlaze
+  * SparcV8
+  * NiOS
 
-and comes in two flavors:
+It comes in two flavors:
   * SMP (Symmetric multiprocessing), in which the threads share the processor pool in a fair manner, first
     come first served.
   * DS (Distributed Scheduling), in which a task is assigned to a processor at creation time.
 
-The libraries currently available are :
- * Native POSIX Threads (libpthread)
- * Standard C library (libc)  
- * Process Network Communication (libcomm)
+The libraries associated with DNA/OS currently available are :
+ * Native POSIX Threads
+ * newlibc (provided by Redhat) with support for multiprocessor
 
-The MutekA kernel is currently being restructured :
- * code clean up
- * peripheral accesses through drivers
- * modularity
+The DNA/OS repository is available at : [http://github.com/apes]
