Hi Fabio, Yes, it is very much possible to do the same. We already have examples of multiple androids, multiple linux, running together over codezero. Ideally, it works like: 1. Each virtual OS is compiled to form some elf binaries like cont0.elf, cont1.elf etc. 2. Codezero microkernel/hypervisor source code compiles into kernel.elf binary. 3. All the above elf files(along with a small loader) are merged into final.elf binary, which is loaded and run finally. 4. At run time, loader code starts which unpacks and loads various virtual OS and hypervisor. -- Thanks, Amit Mahajan _______________________________________________ codezero-devel mailing list codezero-devel@lists.l4dev.org http://lists.l4dev.org/mailman/listinfo/codezero-devel_lists.l4dev.org
