Hi, I am working on imx6 sabre auto. I need to port Xen hypervisor on it with Linux OS. Is it possible?

Do you have any document for how to make it working.

Thanks in advance

Deepika

Hi Deepika,

No you can't port the Xen hypervisor since it requires an ARM processor with Virtualization instructions like the Cortex-A15 or Cortex-A7. The Cortex-A9 of the i.MX6Q doesn't have those instructions.
