[Xen-users] Not able to cross-compile the xen

[siddhartha v <siddhuvgowda.18695@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 I am trying to run the XEN hypervisor on Banana PI-M1 allwinner A20 dualcore board. 

I downloaded the Xen sourcecode from https://xenproject.org/downloads/xen-project-archives/xen-project-4-13-series/xen-project-4-13-0/

I followed the steps mentioned in the INSTALL and Readme.txt file in the download.and installed most of the libraries mentioned there.

I am newbie here my understanding is, I should crosscompile it in native machine and write the executable to SD card then we need to boot the board. Is I am on right path? if not please correct me.

But later I came across a link where I read building the xen directly on board. I am confused here please can anybody lead me to the right path here. kind request.

But later Itried to crosscompile on local machine during "./configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=aarch64-linux-gnu" instruction, I got below log:

siddhu@siddhu:~/scp/xen-4.13.0$ ./configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=aarch64-linux-gnu

Please guide me how can I run Xen on banana Pi M1 board. I just need to run the Xen with 2 domains i.e Dom-0 and D0m-U1

Any suggestions and guidance will help me a lot.

Regards,

Siddhartha V
