[Embeddedxen-devel] EmbeddedXEN 2.0 available !

[Rossier D. <Dan...@he...>]

Hello,

We are proud to announce the release 2.0 of EmbeddedXEN !

This is the first official release of EmbeddedXEN based upon a new revisite=
d architecture (hence release 2).

EmbeddedXEN supports two guest OSes (dom0 and domU). Further technical deta=
ils about EmbeddedXEN will come up soon through various publications includ=
ing a dedicated Wiki.

EmbeddedXEN is continuously evolving; we have still some issues regarding t=
he networking, but a fully functional version will be released in the upcom=
ing weeks.

As a first release including a domU, we packaged the SqueezeOS (with its ap=
plication) running on a Linux 2.6.26 in order to show the possibility of Em=
beddedXEN. SqueezeOS is running on Logitech SBTouch device, and no modifica=
tions in the rootfs have been done. You can run SqueezePlay in emulation or=
 even on HTC !

Currently supported are:

- Linux-2.6.26-dom0 on QEMU/versatilev6 (ARM-11)
- Linux-2.6.29-dom0 on QEMU/goldfish (Cortex-A8/ARMv7)
- Linux-2.6.32-dom0 on HTC Desire HD(Snapdragon/ARMv7)
- Linux-2.6.26-domU which is our para-virtualized version of SqueezeOS

Hardware virtualization of the following devices is supported:

UART, console, framebuffer, keyboard, touchscreen, block device, audio, and=
 networking (in a couple of days/weeks).

Do not hesitate to download all files and have a look at the different flav=
ours.

As usual, a very good thing would be to use clone the git repository in ord=
er to stay in touch with the very last changes. Contributions, new ideas, b=
ugs tracking are also very welcome :-) If you have such interest, please do=
 not hesitate !

Have a nice time with EmbeddedXEN 2.0 !

Cheers
Daniel
