Greetings, I would like to ask if it is possible to compile/run Xen ARM on the Zedboard (or Xilinx ZC702) board. The board has a Cortex A9 dual core processor. Is it similar to the Arndale board described in the Xen wiki? Any response will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, John Velegrakis

AFAIK only the Cortex A7 and A15 have them. There was a previous ARM PV port[1] (which I am not involved with) but it is effectively dead and I expect won''t support anything so modern as an A9. Ian.
