Hi Ayan, On 18/09/2024 19:50, Ayan Kumar Halder wrote: There are features in the forthcoming patches which are dependent on MPU. For eg fixed start address. Also, some of the Xen features (eg STATIC_MEMORY) will be selected by the MPU configuration. Thus, this patch introduces a choice between MMU and MPU for the type of memory management system. By default, MMU is selected. MPU is now gated by UNSUPPORTED. Updated SUPPORT.md to state that the support for MPU is experimental.

I am a bit confused with this statement. Does this mean that not all Armv8-R supports MPU? Or are you trying to say that not all of them support EL2?
