RE: [Xen-devel] FW: HXEN on linux

["Deepak Kr. Sharma - ERS, HCL Tech" <deepak.s@xxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I am sending a doc that captures our understanding of HXen.

We need inputs and suggestions from you all to correct any discrepancies and 
clarify our grey areas.

Based on your inputs, we will define our path ahead.

Regards,
Deepak

Hello,

I understand that there is no document available for HXen.

Please correct me if I am wrong but I assume that HXen draws some stuff from 
Xen. Is that correlation known and can it be explained?

We have started identifying the blocks in HXen and will be sending out very 
soon an assessment and understanding of what we want to do. I would request you 
all to validate the same and give your precious inputs.

The first challenge is to identify the big picture of HXen and our focus area.

Regards,
Deepak

like Tim wrote, there isn't one.

you mean, apart from make and gcc?

I think qemu is still used as hardware emulator in HXEN, so there should
be some degrees of configuration.
