It looks like the backend (QEMU) hasn't been initialized properly.
Could you please post the output of xenstore-ls? Also could you run ps
aux|grep qemu to check whether QEMU was spawned correctly?

Attaching output of xenstore-ls and grep qemu.

Looks like qemu process is getting spawned and running fine.

I have also modified the config file to remove tap from disk like:

disk = [ 'qcow:/mnt/xen/vivid-server-cloudimg-arm64-disk1.img,xvda,w' ]

But still my DOMU booting is stuck and getting crashed due to lack of rootfs/disk.

I am running this on mustang board.

Thanks,

San
