Xen to run Manjaro and Raspbian

[simba]

I’m not entirely sure, no. But Xen cites itself as having ARM support already, and is in the AUR. If the Xen in the AUR is only x86, it’s still likely possible to build on the PBP by editing the pkgbuild. I’d try it out myself, but I’d have to make another Manjaro SD first.

Read a little more into this on the Arch wiki, and I'm probably wrong about the porting, but it looks like there's a pretty quick way to see if it's possible to run Xen on aarch64:

To run HVM domU, the physical hardware must have either Intel VT-x or AMD-V (SVM) virtualization support. In order to verify this, run the following command when the Xen hypervisor is not running:

Code:

$ grep -E "(vmx|svm)" --color=always /proc/cpuinfo

If the above command does not produce output, then hardware virtualization support is unavailable and your hardware is unable to run HVM domU (or you are already running the Xen hypervisor).

There are no vmx nor svm flags on the Pinebookpro in /proc/cpuinfo

only
fp asmid evtstrm aes pmull sha1 sha2 crc32 cpuid

Yeah, once I saw those flag requirements, I knew I was in the wrong. OP will likely need to explorer other options.

EDIT:

I'm in the midst of updating Fedora on the PBP and it appears it already includes Xen. There's also Xen pkgs for aarch64 available here: https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=xen
Xen on aarch64 may be a possibility, though it might have some restrictions given those required flags.

Accodring to the Xen development Wiki, the Rockchip 3399 used in PBP is capable of running Xen[/url]. There are also [url=https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Ibox3399]instructions for a specific board with this chip.
