In our lab, we’re trying ACRN on a Coffee Lake-Refresh system, which has 8 CPU cores.
Our configuration setting is:
1. SOS (Yocto) + Windows (Win10 LTS) + Preempt Linux + Yocto Linux
2. GVT-d (GPU passthrough) to Guest Windows.
The reason to use GVT-d is that it can achieve better Real-time performance for RTVM (Preempt Linux), which is critical for industrial scenario.

Do you want to try GVT-d on Coffee Lake?


Best regards.

Thanks AshKay! You’re running a Coffee Lake system, I don’t believe we validate those. mailto:Nanlin.Xie@..., can a GVT expert take a look a this?

It may be interesting to take enable more debugging options for the DRM subsystem, use drm.debug=0x6 as an additional kernel command-line parameter in the Service VM for this.

Thanks,
Geoffroy

Hello Geoffroy,
Am using release 2.2 for ACRN loading Ubuntu 18.04 as SOS.

Following all the steps listed here with the only exception is that I am using different hardware.
https://projectacrn.github.io/latest/getting-started/rt_industry_ubuntu.html

I have attached my hardware specific board.xml file, CPUid.txt and 40_custom file indicating my boot parameters.
I have also uploaded output from lshw detailing hardware information for my platform.

Please let me know if any additional details are required.

I also do not have serial port so can't interact with ACRN hypervisor.

Thanks in advance for helping..
