Icon Info.png Note that this roadmap is out-of-date. Some of the work has been superseded and others has happened.


Project Infrastructure and Initial GlobalLogic Contribution

  • Set up Project infrastructure (code repos and mailing list) – , although there is an issue in that the repos are somehow hidden from the directory
  • Add Wiki pages (instruction to get SW build for TI J6 EVM) – end of August
  • Initial code contribution by GlobalLogic {NotDone}} as interest has shifted to AGL, for which there is an upstream, and there is a risk of having to maintain an unnecessary Xen port

Planned Code Contributions

  • Xen Project Hypervisor changes: some for 4.4 -
  • Xen Project Hypervisor changes: some for 4.5 -
  • Xen Project Hypervisor changes: some for 4.6 -
  • QNX & Tizen baseports to run as Xen Project guests Interest has shifted to AGL
  • Upstream RT Scheduler performance improvements to Hypervisor - in Xen 4.5 - additional work ongoing and planned for Xen 4.7
  • GPU virtualization PV drivers using OpenGL this was prototyped - an alternative approach exists out-of-tree at this stage
  • Adding support for Renesas R-Car M2/H2 hardware – Initial support in Xen 4.6, some support planned for later
  • Thin Dom0 (only containing kernel with Xen tools on Dom 0 - and no drivers or other functionality - for disaggregated architecture)
  • ISO 26262 certification - ongoing

Project Wish list (unplanned at this stage)
