Sailfish OS is a mobile operating system developed by Jolla as the successor to MeeGo. It uses a Linux kernel and is based on the Mer core components. Applications are written using Qt/QML and the user interface is built with these technologies. Sailfish OS allows true multitasking, uses intuitive gestures for interaction, and provides an integrated services framework. The Sailfish SDK includes tools for app development like the emulator and Qt Creator IDE. It allows developing applications that can efficiently deliver innovations while using developers' own code.

4. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

A mobile operating system, also called a
mobile OS, is an operating system that is
specifically designed to run on mobile devices
such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablet
computers and other handheld devices

The operating system is an evolved
continuation of the Linux MeeGo OS
previously developed by alliance of
Nokia and Intel

5. WHAT IS SAILFISH OS ?WHAT IS SAILFISH OS ?

Linux based operating system

OPEN SOURCE

Runs Qt/QML, HTML5 and Android apps

Developed by Jolla

Sailfish OS was launched on 27 November 2013 at
Finland.


In the base layer, Sailfish OS uses a Linux
kernel with hardware-specific additions.
Hardware support is implemented by the BoardBoard
Support Package (BSP)Support Package (BSP) and HardwareHardware
Abstraction Layer (HAL)Abstraction Layer (HAL) and is project-
specific, and is typically kept private for
commercial ports.

8. Middle layer(MER )Middle layer(MER )

In the middle layer, provides the core system
components for building services above the
hardware and kernel level. Android emulation is
provided by package , which bridges Linux
libraries

The Qt C++ application development
framework provides the primary development
libraries. Aside from the main Qt modules,
Sailfish OS uses add-on modules such Qt
Maps, Qt Sensors and Qt Contacts

All Sailfish applications are written with QML
Qt technology for easily building user
interfaces

Sailfish OS also includes a large range of
libraries and frameworks that service the
application layer

The application are written in C/C++, and
libraries that are directly accessed by the UI
layer

HTML5

10. Application and UI layerApplication and UI layer

Sailfish OS applications are written in a
combination of C++ and QML/QtQuick
QML is a Qt technology primarily used to
declaratively assemble application user
interfaces and connect them to C++ backend
code,

QtQuick is a core part of the QML framework
for UI creation

which provides the essential user-session UI
with an application launcher and other main
screens, and also acts as the window manager.

12. FEUTURESFEUTURES

Effortless InteractionEffortless Interaction- Interaction is effortless
even in hectic mobile environment. The core
interactions are based on simple gesture, supported
by visual, tactile and audio feedback.

True MultitaskingTrue Multitasking- It allows us to quickly and
seamlessly move around running applications. This
keeps us up to date, enables us to fetch and play
content and get something done even after pushing
the application away from the foreground.

13. FEUTURESFEUTURES

Simply Beautiful- Sailfish designs are simple,
beautiful and uncluttered. Content is presented
clearly, text is legible, animations, haptics and
sounds follow an overall theme and support user
interactions.

Logical- Sailfish designs are logical and consistent.
Consistent means here that similar interaction flows
and visuals are reused for similar tasks.

14. FEUTURESFEUTURES

Integrated Services- Sailfish features framework
that enables a deep integration of services. Users can access
service related content and options during their core tasks
instead of opening and closing a set of dedicated
applications.
