'''IOSU''' (sometimes simply referred to as '''IOS''', but can be confused with the Wii IOS) is the operating system running on the [[Hardware/Starbuck|Starbuck]] coprocessor in Wii U mode. It is the Wii U equivalent of [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/IOS IOS] on the Wii, and similar in some regards, but it is a complete rewrite with many changes. IOSU implements the Wii U's security policy, which includes titles and hardware access. One of its primary responsibilities is enforcing code signing, verifying all titles before installation and launch. Another one of its jobs is managing access to most hardware, such as storage, network, USB, and the Gamepad. The PowerPC can talk to IOSU through an IPC interface, and make security and hardware requests.
