Hello folks,


I'm trying to build-up Xen environment with Tegra2 Harmony target board.

Here is my S/W configuration which I'm not sure about whether it is
correct or not.

- Xen-arm: xen-arm-opensource-20110714.tar.bz2 (on wiki page)
- Linux kernel(Dom0, DomU): Linux 2.6.21.1 vanilla kernel
- Bootloader: U-boot

Is it correct?

The particular part which I'm not sure is the kernel version.

Because the vanilla kernel 2.6.21.1 does not seem to be supporting
Tegra2 properly.

On the other hand, I've got Tegra2 kernel from chrome os repository
which is working well.

Can I use Tegra2 kernel (2.6.38) form dom0 and domu then?

I'm wondering how to make it work without hassle.

And one more thing.

Does anyone know how to fuse u-boot without JTAG debugger?


Since official Xen-ARM wiki says that they succeed in porting Xen-ARM
on Tegra250 but cannot find corresponding document.

The official manual still talking about i.MX. :(


Cheers,

Dongsoo Kim

Hi Xen-ARM,
[ The following is my understanding, Corrections might be ]

Linux 2.6.21 is the one that has been used for i.MX21ADS, first port of
Xen-ARM on a board with ARMv5 architecture, part of ARM9E family.

You can go with a different kernel I would say.
make arch=ARM.....etc should get you 2.6.38 kernel done with ARM.

[ Porting ] I am not sure how to do it as the python scripts for that used
for i.MX21 ADS port are different and wonder, if any is present for
integration WRT Tegra2/ any other.

The scripts are also responsible for getting the libraries that are
required for xm and xend tools, which actually are needed to run Hypervisor.

After ARM9 series, I could only see work for Cortex-A9 [ Cortex-A15 &
Cortex-A8 are work in Progress ], because of the issues with the VT,
Virtualization Extensions Compatibility and so on.....

A particular guide to the TO_DATE boards porting is not available, except
that available for i.MX21ADS.

Hi,

The Xen-arm version that you are working does not work with vanilla Linux
kernel because it require PV kernel. Unfortunately, this implies that you
need to modify your kernel, at several parts. In addition, the Xen-arm (PV)
have slightly different interface with Xen for x86. So, Jae-min Ryu and Dr.
Sangbum Suh are under working so that the current xen-arm in the tree
catches up with the Xen mainline. The kernel would still be different from
Xen x86 because of several architectural issues, but it would be much easier
than doing it by yourself from scratch.

Regarding the bootloader, I don't think bootloader is directly related with
Xen. In general, you might ask it for the company that you bought the board.


Hope to be helpful.

Hi,

First of all, thank you for kind comment.

I see that PV needs modified kernel and asking a proper PV kernel
repository for Tegra250.

As far as I follow, at Xen Asia VP Suh has announced their works with
Tegra2 (kernel 2.6.29 maybe).

If company and engineers don't mind, I wanna ask to let me find the
proper kernel code.

It will be extremely helpful to follow up the latest version. And I
may be able to contribute something then.

Cheers,
