Xen project Mailing List

Hi,

Even I am interested with the same.

As far as I know, PV on Xen-ARM for Cortex-A8 is available for testing on ARM Fast Model Emulators.

But It has been months since we heard any news about it.

PV on Xen-ARM for Cortex-A9 is already available for Tegra 2 Harmony.

Even I would like to learn and get some answers from you guys, to the questions posted by Simon Sturm.

Hello PV Xen-ARM developers,

Â

I have a few questions about the PV Xen on ARM project, its development state, and future plans.

Â

I know that there is active development on the upstream version of Xen but to my understanding, this covers primarily PVH support and thus requires an ARM processor with hardware virtualization extensions. However, I am interested in experimenting with Xen on ARM with recent devices without these extensions â which leads me to PV Xen on ARM.

On your wiki pages you refer to two different GIT repositories where the last commits are more than a year ago. This let me assume that the PV Xen on ARM work is frozen.

As I saw that the newer repository is based on a Xen 4.2 development version (according to the READMEs) and the other on Xen 3.0. I guess that there was effort ongoing in porting PV Xen on ARM work to a newer Xen base at last. It also seems to be that MiniOS on ARM is not ported yet to the newer code base.

Â

Now my questions:

* What is the current and future development plan of PV Xen on ARM? I guess that this work will not go upstream Xen soon and maybe never.

* Are there also patches available (or included in the repositories) to build a Linux kernel for PV Xen on ARM (as Dom0 and DomU)?

Thanks,

Â

Simon
