Xen project Mailing List

Hi Simon.

Right now, you can test Unikraft with Xen on arm32. Be aware that there is a open bug on the memory allocator for arm (see:https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:Unikraft_Users). arm64 with Xen is currently not supported but we working on it. Same for KVM and baremetal.

We use cubieboard2/3 for arm32 tests. These boards are even officially supported by Debian and can run Xen.

So we bought a cubieboard2 :)

Brought the board up without xen.
Then brought the board up with xen.

At this point, "sudo xl list" lists "Domain-0" fine.

Now, we are wanting to run the helloworld-unikraft-unikernel.

To keep aside any cross-compilation issues, we are compiling on cubieboard2 itself.

Following is the .config file (majorly containing the "ukdebug" and "ukboot" changes required for arm32) :

However, upon compilation, following is observed :

So, we proceed to remove the -mtune=cortex-a7 and -mcpu=cortex-a7 flags from unikraft/unikraft/arch/arm/Makefile.uk.

Thereafter, upon recompiling, we get
