Hi,
We've been working with Xen-ARM_pv for cortex-a8.
We've run two guest Linux.
Our H/W platform is with s5pc100 that uses cortex-a8 core.

Is it?

Good & Great!

Have you been able to run two guests on FME or on the target!

Because, you need Virt_Extensions on for Cortex-A8, to run directly on
target right?

Oops,
I'm sorry, I misunderstood the question.
I'm not working with FME.

My branch is not based on virt_extension. :<
It's based on Ryu-Jaemin's branch, so it will only work with pv
(not virt_extension, although the processor supports virt_extension).

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?

> Cortex-A8 is widely used, and I would like to know the status.

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

Ian.

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.

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

First, run u-boot with your board.
Then, put your xen-bin and linux image in a DRAM
Finally, run xen-arm.

To do these,
you need to have a proper image (xen-arm, xen-linux), you need to be aware
of memory map, and you need to run u-boot with your board.

BTW. I've double checked the spec of cortex-a8. It does not support
virt_extension despite it is armv7-a.
So, all cortex-a8 rel. things are only available w/ pv branch.
