Embedded Linux Conference & OpenIoT Summit North America 2018

This talk will introduce the audience to the concept of the first open source, partitioning hypervisor reference stack for IoT & embedded devices. We will be addressing the gap that currently exists between datacenter hypervisors, hard partitioning hypervisors, & select industrial applications.

Here, we will discuss the details of part 1 of the reference stack: the device hypervisor. This hypervisor is designed to fit the embedded ecosystem requirements. Such as a "partitioning" system enabling it to isolate and share resources as needed. This device hypervisor is designed to support a small footprint code base for simplicity and low latency, an improved boot time, will have support for standards like Virt-IO, and will support hardware platforms built on Intel Architecture. This open source, partitioning, device hypervisor reference stack will be distributed under a non-GPL license.
