RE: [XenARM] VMM for smart devices

Hi Fasiha,

The status is as following as far as I know:

- Regarding the XEN arm project, Samsung will release a para-virtualized Linux 
running on top of their hypervisor in the upcoming days. I've no further 
information regarding that.

- Regarding the EmbeddedXEN project, we are about to release a new version of 
xen-pxa270-qemu which is the port of XEN on PXA270 processor based upon the 
original work of George Davis from MontaVista (please note that QEMU is easily 
replaceable by a compatible PXA270-compatible board. We have adopted a 
completely different approach which consists of having an embedded 
Linux+XEN+dom0/domU in a simple binary image. Please, be aware that it will be 
a first version which has very few functionalities of XEN, but it will be 
extended in the coming months. We will besides keep the mailing list aware of 
the progress on a more regular basis as so far, telling what we are trying to 
do and what ongoing work. roughly said, our objective in EmbeddedXen is merely 
the support of hard realtime OS kernel (in a first solution, we opt for the 
integration of Xenomai, replacing the Adeos nanokernel by a modified 
hypervisor). On the other hand, we are also working on an IMX.31 port based on 
Samsung's work, enhanced with our realtime extensions (in that sense, the 
project differs from Samsung's one since we will put less efforts on security 
and more on low-latency issues).
As far as I know, there is no port of iPhone; but I guess iPhone is based on 
something similar to iMX31 processor, you could benefit from our work.

Saying that, we hope that a more larger community will be active in the ARM 
port of XEN in the future. We will spend some efforts in promoting that.

Kind regards
Daniel
