Re: Running on AMD systems

Hi Lonnie,

 

Happy New Year to you too!! :-)

 

The short answer is that we have not tested ACRN on AMD processors. I strongly suspect that ACRN will not run on AMD at this stage due to the differences in the HW-assisted virtualization extensions (Intel VT vs. AMD-V). Having said that, please let us know if you get it to work! We’d also be happy to take patches if you create a port for AMD.

 

Best regards,

Geoffroy

Hi All,

 

First of all, I would like to say Happy New Year to everyone.

 

Not sure if I have asked this, or if it has already come up, but I was wondering if ACRN will run on AMD processors.  Actually, I am looking for an extremely small footprint monolithic  hypervisor that can run on AMD and Intel processors as I investigate Uni-kernel approaches for JEOS streamlined applications.

 

Hoping that ACRN can be a good starting point for this effort that I have had in mind for a very long time now.

 

Best

Lonnie
