Xen devel - Aug 2005 - [Qeustion] Hypervisor for Embedded System

Hi Everyone. 

I am looking for Virtualization Technology which can be useful for Embedded
System

Especially, support ARM/PPC/MIPS architecture..

 

Is there anybody who tries to apply Xen to ARM/PPC/MIPS?

Or Is there any other solution which is useful ?

 

I found  rHype from IBM website.

But it is lack of enough information and it is for the Cell architecture.

 

If there is anybody who tries to make some hypervisor for Embedded System,

Let me know you.. and let’s talk about Embedded Hypervisor.

 

Thanks & regards,…

SangBae.Lee

IBM are porting to the PPC970, which should help you some.  They''re
mostly
aiming at the server market, so you''d need ta do some more work to get
this
running on an embedded PPC.

Depending on what you want to do there might be other solutions.  e.g. Adeos 
for multiplexing realtime OS components alongside Linux, Vservers for 
creating virtual machines within one Linux kernel.

That functionality is being pull into Xen anyhow...

I heard some vagues rumblings about an ARM port but haven''t seen any
code.
Xen *could* be ported for any of these systems but there hasn''t (yet)
been
sufficient interest from embedded developers wanting to make a port.

Cheers,
Mark

The VT-x style extensions to the ARM ISA might spur interest in a port.

!?

Really, I hadn''t heard about those...  Where are they coming from (i.e.
from
Intel or ARM themselves).  Do you have any linkies?

Cheers,
Mark

You know - googling hasn''t turned anything up, but I''m certain
that that was
mentioned somewhere (OLS?). Hmm...
