Re: [discuss] Sparc Hypervisor
Thanks Fred, The sparc hypervisor requires a primary / control domain to communicate with the hypervisor. OpenBSD has a daemon, a config file and an ldom admin command for controlling the sparc hypervisor, which makes it a good candidate for the primary domain. https://man.openbsd.org/man5/sparc64/ldom.conf.5 I don't know whether Sun released the hypervisor's manager ldm under an OS license, however I believe the hypervisor itself was released under GPLv2. OpenBSD's logical domain admin was developed independently of the Sun implementation. Using this it would be possible to provide access for developers to test on sparc, that is build, boot and test, but it would have to be accessed via the OpenBSD control domain. Cheers, Peter.
