BridgeOS

[A Hobo]

I’ve been hearing a lot about bridgeOS they last couple days especially around rumours with the iMac.
Does anyone know exactly what BridgeOS is? Is it a replacement for EFI? I’ve tried the normal google-fu and nothing..

some sort of ios derivative. The A10 coprocessor in the imac pro is referred to as Bridge2,1, which implies the existence of a Bridge1,1 product...

Was Bridge1,1 used in the macbook pro's touchbar?

Found this on BGR: "First and foremost, the iMac Pro will reportedly include an A10 coprocessor running its own variant of iOS — dubbed BridgeOS — as to enable functionality like the ‘Hey Siri’ feature Apple originally introduced with iOS 8."
