Xen on hikey

smc149 · February 20, 2017, 9:29am

Hello, I am trying to install Xen on SD card.
I also followed Xen’s wiki instruction(hikey - Xen), but it doesn’t work.
I dd CentOS-7-aarch64.img to the SD card. Then where should I put startup.nsh and xen.cfg on the SD card??

Best regards,
Mincheol

Hello @Mincheol,

I had the same problem and solved. Have a look here:

github.com

Jeeppler/xen-note/blob/master/arm64/hikey/hikey-xen-centos.md#build-kernel-41

# hikey Xen + CentOS

"Beware that to run Xen on hikey you need the 96Boards UART Serial Adapter, available [here](http://linaro.co/uart-seeed)."

## Build Kernel 4.1 

The instructions are based on:
- https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/hikey
- https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Virtualization/Xen_on_ARMv8_Foundation

~~~
# clone the kernel tree
user@host$ git clone https://github.com/96boards/linux.git 96boards_linux
user@host$ cd 96boards_linux 

# this is the android-hikey-linaro-4.1 commit mentioned in the article
user@host: ~/96boards_linux$ git checkout 9e740973c9a71214a5873d2a5de42e5be7522989
user@host: ~/96boards_linux$ git show HEAD

# setup cross build environment

If you have any ideas how to make my documentation on github better let me know.

Hi, I tried it and it worked.
However, the networking isn’t working. I used USB3.0 ethernet adapter.
