Hello @MEGHANAB

I hope you are doing very well.

Xen is only supported by i.MX95 as you can see on i.MX Linux User's Guide, chapter 17.2 Xen hypervisor.

But you can use Jailhouse hypervisor, more details on the same guide on chapter 17.1 Jailhouse hypervisor.

Best regards,

Salas.

For building the Xen and Jailhouse, please refer to Chapter 5.6.11 and 5.6.12 in Yocto User's Guide.
