Hi all, I''ve got an OMAP5432 uEVM development board and wondered if it is already supported by Xen? Thanks, Baozi

I can''t speak for the PV port. If the hardware has the appropriate virtualisation support then porting to a new platform isn''t all that troublesome, if you''ve got a working upstream Linux kernel with DTB support to use as dom0.

TI ships a 3.8.4 kernel for OMAP5432 uEVM. I think it may be new enough for a dom0? Baozi

I think it may be new enough for a dom0?I think so, initial support was in 3.7 IIRC and 3.8 had most of what is needed to get started. You likely just need to recompile it with CONFIG_XEN enabled.
