Thanks for the confirmation. I will see if I can find a different HW to test with. I have tried a few more times on the NUC7i7DNHE and it consistently get stuck... here is what I see:

And it stays there forever, with no way for me to input anything anymore in there.

Note that when that happens, the system is still happily running (SOS and UOS).

Normally, you're in the HV console after you input command "vmexit",
you can still input other commands.
On MRB it work well, just checked.

I am talking about the 'vmexit' command you can use from the
hypervisor console (it's listed here:
https://projectacrn.github.io/latest/user-
guides/acrn-shell.html). When I used it, it printed out a lot of info
but I couldn't figure out how to get back the console prompt (so I
could issue new/different commands).

I think you're talking different things.

Vmexit command in "hypervisor console" is used to show the
info/count which cause vmexit; it is used for debug.
Not sure if it is included in our doc.

After the command "vmexit", you're still in hv console

That depends on how you trigger vm-exit.

Basically, VMM needs to advance the GIP to mark the end of execution
of the guest instruction.

Hi folks,

I called 'vmexit' from the hypervisor console, that displayed a
bunch of info on the screen... but I don't know how to return to
the console (and I couldn't find that in the online doc). What's the trick?

Thanks,
Geoffroy
