The Bareflank Hypervisor is an open source hypervisor Software Development Toolkit (SDK) for Rust and C++, led by Assured Information Security, Inc. (AIS), that provides the tools needed to rapidly prototype and create your own hypervisor on 64bit versions of Intel and AMD (ARMv8 CPUs, RISC-V and PowerPC also planned). The Bareflank SDK is intended for instructional/research purposes as it only provides enough virtualization support to start/stop a hypervisor. Bareflank can also be used as the foundation to create your own, fully functional hypervisor as it uses the MIT license, and includes 100% unit test coverage and compliance for AUTOSAR. If you are looking for a complete hypervisor (and not an SDK), please see MicroV. If you are looking for a minimal SDK for education or to perform research, this is the project for you. If you are simply looking for a reference hypervisor, please see SimpleVisor.
Features
- Bareflank uses a layered, modular approach, that lets you pick just how much complexity you need in your project when creating your own custom hypervisor
- Documentation available
- Provides auto-generated intrinsics APIs for Intel, AMD and ARM on any combination of OS and language
- Provides our custom implementation of the LLVM Clang-Tidy static analysis tool to ensure compliance with AUTOSAR
- Provides a header-only, AUTOSAR compliant implementation of a subset of the C++ Standard Library, used to implement Bareflank's C++ components ensuring Bareflank and projects built using Bareflank can support critical systems applications
- Examples included
