Re: Query regarding builnig Xen on Raspberry-Pi3

[siddhartha v <siddhuvgowda.18695@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi sir, 

  I tried to build by adding the line that you suggested but I got below error:

siddhu@siddhu:~/Documents/yocto/build$ bitbake core-image-base
ERROR: Unable to start bitbake server (None)

To activate Xen build you need to add to your local.conf:

DISTRO_FEATURES += “virtualization xen”

You have something to add virtualization but not xen

Then you must start Xen which should start Linux, in your current system you have more then probably just started the Linux generated but Xen needs to be started first and then Xen is starting Linux.

Once you have done that, it would also help if you provide your boot logs.
