Solo5 originally started as a project by Dan Williams at IBM Research to port
MirageOS to run on the Linux/KVM hypervisor. Since then, it has grown into a
more general sandboxed execution environment, suitable for running applications
built using various unikernels (a.k.a. library operating systems), targeting
different sandboxing technologies on diverse host operating systems and
hypervisors.
Some of the unique features of Solo5:
Looking for the "ukvm monitor"? Since Solo5 0.4.0, our terminology has
changed to better reflect the intended architecture and
long-term goals of the project. What used to be referred to as a monitor is
now referred to as a tender . As part of this change, the ukvm target and
monitor have been renamed to hvt ("hardware virtualized tender ") to
reflect that they are no longer specific to the KVM hypervisor, and to allow
for development of further tenders such as spt .
As Solo5 is essentially a piece of "middleware" interfacing unikernel-style
applications with their host systems, it is not an end-developer product as
such.
To get started as a developer with Solo5, please refer primarily to the
instructions provided by the unikernel project you intend to develop
applications with:
That said, we provide the following documentation, not specific to any
unikernel in particular:
Solo5 is developed on GitHub and licensed under a liberal ISC license. We
accept contributions via GitHub pull requests. When submitting a contribution,
please add your details to the AUTHORS file, and if your contribution adds
new source files copy the copyright header from an existing source file.
The coding style for the project is "as for the Linux kernel, but with 4
spaces instead of tabs". When in doubt, please follow style in existing source
files.
We operate a mailing list for general Solo5 development discussion, at
solo5@lists.h3q.com . To subscribe to the list, send an empty email to
solo5-subscribe@lists.h3q.com . Archives are available at The Mail
Archive .
If you are considering a substantial contribution to Solo5, would like to port
a new unikernel to Solo5, or have general questions unrelated to a specific
unikernel, please get in touch via the mailing list.

Its small size will appeal to some, but even at this price, we want more from it in the performance stakes
Soundbars might have been created for people who don’t have room for a 5.1 surround sound set-up, but the Bose Solo 5 looks as though it was made for people who don’t have room for a soundbar.
At just 55cm long and 7cm tall, it has to be one of the most compact soundbars we’ve ever seen. This makes it perfect for those who need something low profile enough to slip under their main TV, or are looking to boost the sound of a smaller bedroom TV perhaps.
But its size brings its own challenges too, and while we’re all for good things coming in small packages, here it feels like it could well be its shortcoming.
The Solo 5 keeps things pretty simple from a design perspective, with the aim of sitting underneath your TV (or wall mounted if you prefer) without much fuss.
There are no buttons or switches to complicate things, just a plain black grille to the front and black plastic to the top and sides, which helps to keep it light, while still feeling well built.
Behind the grille lie just two drivers, positioned in the centre of the unit and angled out slightly in an aim to deliver a wider soundfield. A couple of LED status indicators illuminate and change colour to let you know when certain features are enabled, plus they’ll also blink in acknowledgement as you change volume.
You control the soundbar using the rather substantial remote, which at about half the size of the soundbar itself feels a little on the chunky side.
However, that’s because as well as working with the soundbar, it can also be programmed as a universal remote for your TV, Blu-ray player and any other infrared device.
In terms of connectivity, Bose delivers what we’d expect at this price, including optical, coaxial and auxiliary inputs, plus built-in Bluetooth for streaming music.
It offers a few neat tricks too, such as its auto-wake feature, which will see the soundbar jump to life whenever it picks up an audio signal. It’ll power off automatically too, after 60 minutes of inactivity.
Other than that, Bose keeps things relatively straightforward. There aren’t stacks of sound modes, EQ options or settings to choose from – it’s designed to be plug and play, and it in that respect, it largely succeeds.
We connect it using the optical cable included in the box (the recommended connection, though a coaxial cable is also included) and the Bose Solo 5 is good to go.
The only thing you’ll want to check is that your TV speakers are turned off – you should find that option somewhere in your TV’s sound settings.
Unfortunately the dimensions of the Bose Solo 5 work against it as soon as you start listening.
The size of your TV will impact how much of a difference it’s able to make though, and it is worth bearing in mind that a small TV is likely to benefit more from the Solo 5 than a larger one.
We hook it up to a 32in Samsung set and settle in with Gravity on Blu-ray. Immediately the Solo 5 lays its cards on the table, dialling up the volume to a decent level, and adding clarity and weight compared with the TV’s native sound.
Voices are projected better and with good clarity (so much so that we didn’t feel the need to use the included dialogue mode), and the overall presentation has more body and solidity to it, avoiding the thin, hard sound that many slim TVs tend to have. The midrange is focused and direct, with a controlled, crisp treble.
Look deeper than that, though, and there’s little more to it. Sure, there is better weight on offer than most TVs can muster, but bass is still lacking in absolute terms.
This means that when it comes to giving any sense of punch or impact to big explosions or action scenes, the Solo 5 falls short. There is a bass boost option, which can help the low end sound a little more substantial, but it also sacrifices some midrange clarity.
Even with bass boost turned on, we still find ourselves wanting more, and though there’s additional weight, it still lacks any real presence.
It underwhelms elsewhere too. There’s not significantly more detail on offer than what your TV manages on its own, and it falls flat dynamically, lacking the ability to build any sort of tension or excitement with soundtracks.
The positioning of the drivers in the middle of the bar shows as well, creating a narrow soundfield that is so much smaller than the wide, room-filling sound you’ll get from the likes of the Philips HTL5140 .
As for music, we select the Bluetooth icon on the remote and pair to the Solo 5 without issue. Streams from Spotify are delivered with decent clarity and solidity, but they carry the same character as movies.
Detail falls short, bass could be harder hitting and it needs to be better dynamically to be truly engaging.
Overall the Bose Solo 5 is a simplistic soundbar that ultimately achieves its two main aims – to boost your TV’s sound and look good while doing so.
The problem is that it doesn’t add a great deal more to the experience outside of that. It has more talented competition, which might not match its dimensions and convenience, but blow it out of the water when it comes to performance.
If you’re looking for a dinky soundbar to add a touch of weight and clarity to a smaller TV in your house, you might want to take a look. For anything more substantial than that, you can do better elsewhere.
