Hello All, I had one more query and emailing the same.
After building a full Yocto image(with XenGt) for our embedded Intel board by integrating the meta-layers in #2 with #1 as in my previous email, should I attempt installing this new Yocto image in our embedded Intel board, try doing the configurations, other installations/grub changes etc.(as relevant in Yocto) relating to XenGt and post that attempt to boot through the dom0 kernel as mentioned in the link below for Debian? https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Beginners_Guide#Installing_Debian Xen Project Beginners Guide - Xen<https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Beginners_Guide#Installing_Debian> wiki.xenproject.org Welcome! This guide was written to introduce beginners to basic Xen Project concepts and allow you to get started with Xen Project with no prior knowledge. Please advise as I am doing this for the first time.

The meta-networking layer has dependencies on meta-python layer as well. The OpenEmbedded-Core is the layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less and contains only emulated machine support. To build XenGt, the approach would be to build a XenGt hypervisor image for this Intel board by integrating the meta-layers in #2 with #1? or is there any other way to build the XenGt hypervisor image? The 'meta-virtualization' link http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-virtualization/about/ mentions about dependencies of 'meta-virtualization' on openembedded-core, meta-oe, meta-networking, meta-filesystems, meta-python and meta-go layers as well. However, without the BSP support, I am not sure how the dom0 kernel would communicate with the physical hardware? Any pointers if I am missing anything? Thanks M I came across these links. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-virtualization/ http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-virtualization/about/
