Xen to run Manjaro and Raspbian

[astr0baby]

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
