| Martyn | prepare to be very, very afraid ... I got XenArm working on the babbage | 17:32 |
|---|---|---|
| amitk | what is XenARM? port of Xen to ARM? | 17:51 |
| Martyn | Yep! | 18:01 |
| Martyn | It was done for cellphones, but it works absolutely great on any arm9 or arm11 variant | 18:01 |
| Martyn | although I need to work on some of the hardware abstractions | 18:02 |
| Stskeeps | Martyn: terrifying but absolutely neat | 18:03 |
| amitk | *shudder* | 18:07 |
| Martyn | amitk : It's useful. Arm clock rates are going nowhere but up, arm CORES are going nowhere but up | 18:11 |
| Martyn | amitk : Hypervisors did exist without CPU support for a long time ... this may be something that gets ARM to add virtualization support into the ARM soft core | 18:12 |
| amitk | Martyn: I can see it being useful (e.g. to run the telephony stack in a vm on a phone), but xen is complex | 18:22 |
| * NCommander notes we could jut run QEMU in on a xen-amd64 host :-) | 18:23 | |
| lool | Martyn: Well that's highly interesting to us; we'd have use of that for virtual builds | 19:11 |
| lool | NCommander: That was the plan | 19:11 |
| NCommander | lool, it was? | 19:11 |
| NCommander | Cool! | 19:11 |
| Martyn | Well, I'm having a few problems right now with the abstraction of the bus that has the network controller on it | 19:46 |
| Martyn | so, for the moment I can -run- the arm Xen hypervisor, but only communicate through serial | 19:46 |
| Martyn | and don't even have the ghost of a whisper of a chance of getting graphics up | 19:46 |
