Audun, we are in the process of archiving this mailing list as today most of the Xen ARM development is done on xen-devel on the upstream ARM and ARMv8 port. It requires a Cortex A15 or any other processors with virtualization extensions. Would that meet your requirements?

Audun, I clarified the warning on http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_(PV) <http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_%28PV%29> as it was a little confusing. The original Xen ARM PV port requires a modified Linux kernel, whereas ARM support in mainline Xen does not. Many of the newer mobile platform have newer ARM CPUs and thus ARM support in mainline Xen should just work. We are also seeing pick-up in the mobile and other sectors with the new port. This is happening a lot quicker than we thought and there are activities and discussions going on to make mainline Xen more suitable for various embedded use-cases: See<http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:Android> * http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:Android *http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:Embedded <http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:Embedded> * http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-11/msg03004.html [Xen Developer Summit BoF Notes : Seeding a Xen + Android / Embedded ecosystem BoF] * http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-11/msg02536.html [Xen for real-time/embedded/automotive] Of course the old port is still around, but it is unlikley that much development effort will go into it.

Please can you avoid this, PVH is x86 specific and although it has some similarities with how guests operate on Xen on ARM with virtualisation extensions they are not the same. Ian.
