I have recently purchased a P4080PCIe board for a project. Ultimately I will need to be able to run multiple OSs in an AMP environment, but first I need to be able to get a basic hypervisor example running. Unfortunately, I am having difficulty locating any documentation or tutorials regarding the details of how to load and run the hypervisor example code bundled in the BSP.
I did find a "Building and Deploying the Embedded Hypervisor" page in the information center. In short it says to
hypervisor image: 0xe8700000
hardware device tree: 0xe8800000
hypervisor configuration tree: 0xe8900000
Then: setenv bootargs config-addr=0xe8900000 followed by booth e8700000 - e8800000
So... I'm using the hv.uImage file as my hypervisor image, the uImage-p4080n710.dtb file as my hardware device tree, and the R_RRRSS_0x16/hv-1p-lnx.dtb as my hypervisor configuration tree. When I boot I get the following:
=> bootm e8700000 - e8800000

[0] Freescale Hypervisor 1.0-001

So... am I using the wrong image or device tree, and if so, which ones should I be using?
Is there a "loading the example hypervisor code for dummies" document out there?
