There are a few features that seem specifically focused on development. The blue Fuchsia logo in the top left corner will switch between what clearly seems to be laptop and phone modes. The most official description of Fuchsia weve ever gotten from Google is from the Fuchsia kernel documentation, which says it targets modern phones and modern personal computers with fast processors. With that in mind, the phone and laptop modes make sense. Remember, this isnt an emulator, though, so the phone mode is a bit odd. The Pixelbook is pulling double duty as both a native laptop device and a stand in for a phone device.
Getting Fuchsia up and running on a piece of hardware is a strange and interesting project. Youd expect to download and compile the OS, put it on a USB stick, and either live boot directly from the USB stick or run some kind of Fuchsia OS installer. Instead, you load a bootable USB stick up with Zedboot—a basic bootloader that will get you connected to a network. On the host machine, you compile Fuchsia and send the system files over the network to a machine currently running Zedboot. Thats all done in a process the Fuchsia docs call paving. Once the 1.1GB worth of files is downloaded, the system boots up, and eventually youll be looking at a lock screen.
It has been hard to check in on Fuchsia since. The Fuchsia system UI, which was written with a cross platform SDK called Flutter, quickly shut down the Android (and iOS) compatible builds. Fuchsia has a Vulkan based graphics stack, and no emulator supports the new ish graphics API. The only way to get Fuchsia up and running again was with actual hardware, and the only supported devices were Intel NUC PCs from 2015 and the Acer Switch Alpha 12 laptop.
The lock screen also has a few hardware button commands for development. Caps Lock (which is technically called the launcher button on the Pixelbook keyboard) will switch between the GUI and a command line interface. In the command line mode, volume down will switch between multiple command line instances, one of which is a debug readout. In the GUI, volume down will make the display render upside down, which is nice for the Pixelbooks tent mode.
