Xen devel - May 2012 - Re: [XenARM] Regarding Xen-ARM for Cortex-A8 on Fast Model Emulators [FME]

Questions about the port of Xen to ARM with virt extensions are best
posted to xen-devel, the xen-arm list focuses on the PV port. Adding
xen-devel since it seems you are mainly asking about the
w/-virt-extensions port.

AFAIK no one has tried the w/-virt-extensions port on this model. The
only ones which I know have been tried are Cortex-A15 model and AEM.

Cortex-A8 already exists so I would be surprised if it were to be
updated with virt extensions, do you have some reason to think that it
will be?

Cortex A15 and Cortex A7 are on our radar as upcoming processors which
will have the extensions. Cortex A8 is not.

I''m confused by the mention of both Xen-ARM and KVM in this sentence.
Also did you mean A8 or A9 here?

AFAIK these chips don''t/won''t support virtualisation
extensions.

Sorry,

I am interested to learn a bit about Cortex-A8 only, where, I am aware of
the PV port.

I have just learn from Seehwan-Yoo, through Xen-ARM that he was successful
with PV port with dom 0 & dom U running successfully.

With last source code release is for run of Xen-ARM with dom 0 on FME, as
an enthusiast, I would like to ask the progress of Xen-ARM.

OK. The links you provided were all about the other port, which was
confusing.

Ian.

Hello,

My apologies for going into this conversation. :) My situation is that I 
have a Tegra 250 Harmony Board (Cortex A-9) and I''d like to run Xen-ARM
on top of it. From what I read, this is possible, and although I have 
read and followed several tutorials on how to compile it, I''m still 
unable to achieve it. Could you point me to the appropiate tutorial or 
forum post for my board? I''d be really grateful.

Best regards,

Josep Subirats
