Long-Time Linux x86 Maintainer H. Peter Anvin Joins Stealth Chip Startup Rosaic Labs
H. Peter Anvin, the long-time Linux x86 maintainer and co-author of the Syslinux bootloader family, has joined semiconductor startup Rosaic Labs, according to a report from Phoronix.
Little is publicly known about Rosaic Labs. The company has drawn attention after Intel reportedly granted it access to Atom technology, including RTL code. Separately, community observers have flagged unexplained additions to the x86 support in the Linux kernel tree that do not appear to originate from Intel, AMD, Zhaoxin, or Hygon. No connection between those changes and Rosaic Labs has been confirmed.
Rosaic Labs has not disclosed what it is building, and details on Anvin's role at the company have not been made public.

據 Phoronix 報導，長期擔任 Linux x86 維護者、同時是 Syslinux bootloader 系列共同作者的 H. Peter Anvin，已加入半導體初創公司 Rosaic Labs。
外界對 Rosaic Labs 所知甚少。據報導，Intel 已授權該公司取得 Atom 技術，包括 RTL 代碼，令公司備受關注。另一方面，社區觀察人士指出，Linux kernel 源碼樹中的 x86 支援部分出現了來源不明的改動，並非來自 Intel、AMD、上海兆芯（Zhaoxin）或海光（Hygon）。目前尚未證實這些改動與 Rosaic Labs 有任何關聯。
Rosaic Labs 未有披露其正在開發的產品，Anvin 在該公司所擔任的角色亦未有公開。
