[meta-virtualization] Queries on building XenGt Yocto Image

[Mo Bah]

Hello All,

I had one more query and emailing the same.


After building a full Yocto image(with XenGt) for our embedded Intel board by integrating the meta-layers in #2 with #1 as in my previous email, should I attempt installing this new Yocto image in our embedded Intel board, try doing the configurations, other installations/grub changes etc.(as relevant in Yocto) relating to XenGt and post that attempt to boot through the dom0 kernel as mentioned in the link below for Debian?

Welcome! This guide was written to introduce beginners to basic Xen Project concepts and allow you to get started with Xen Project with no prior knowledge.

Please advise as I am doing this for the first time.


Thanks

Subject: Queries on building XenGt Yocto Image


Hello All,

I am trying to build XenGt for an Intel embedded board.


1) We have been provided with the BSP package for this embedded Intel board and I know the build procedure to build fully operational Yocto Image for this board which includes integrating the Intel board BSP package with the Yocto git repository components including the required meta-layers and building all of these together to create an image for the board.


2) For building XenGt, the 'meta-virtualization' layer has to be included in the Yocto image as per the Yocto documentation and this layer has dependencies on openembedded-core<https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layer/openembedded-core/>, meta-oe<https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layer/meta-oe/>, meta-networking<https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layer/meta-networking/>, meta-filesystems<https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layer/meta-filesystems/>.  The meta-networking layer has dependencies on meta-python layer as well.


The OpenEmbedded-Core is the layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less and contains only emulated machine support.


To build XenGt, the approach would be to build a XenGt hypervisor image for this Intel board by integrating the meta-layers in #2 with #1? or is there any other way to build the XenGt hypervisor image?


The 'meta-virtualization' link

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-virtualization/about/  mentions about dependencies of 'meta-virtualization' on openembedded-core, meta-oe, meta-networking, meta-filesystems, meta-python and meta-go layers as well. However, without the BSP support, I am not sure how the dom0 kernel would communicate with the physical hardware? Any pointers if I am missing anything?


Thanks

M
