Hi,
Is Xen support available for this board?
Thanks
Is Xen support available for this board?
In principle it should work. All the same components that xen relies on
for hikey960 are also available on hikey970 (and since xen itself
contains very few drivers it does not need to be ported for a particular
board… it works more or less the same on all arm64 platforms).
However I’m not aware of any tutorial information so it will be more
difficult to assemble to components than it is for hikey960.
Hi Daniel,
We tried to run Xen, but getting below log

Interesting.
GICv3 is pretty different to GICv2 and it looks Xen support for GICv3 is
relatively new (Arm shared a glimpse of a work-in-progress at the end of
2017).
It is possible that a newer xen will be needed (although it still won’t
be hikey970 specific) since the interrupt controller is one of the few
devices that Xen does implement drivers for within the hypervisor rather
than within dom0.
Hi danielt,
Do you know how this error solved?
Thank you!
Hi Ramblech,
We didn’t try to resolve this issue. You can try posting this issue to Xen developer community you may get help.
No, I’m afraid not.
I agree with @Vikram that getting involved with the Xen community is they way to move forward here.
Hi all,
I solve this error by modify kirin970.dtsi:
gic: interrupt-controller@e82b0000 {
compatible = “arm,gic-400”;
#interrupt-cells = <3>;
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
ranges;
interrupt-controller;
redistributor-stride = <0x0 0x30000>;
reg = <0x0 0xe82b1000 0x0 0x1000>, /* GICD /

<0x0 0xe82b6000 0 0x2000>; / GICV */
interrupts = <1 9 0xff04>;
};
Do you have more changes like these?
Would be good to have those in one place so we can all benefit.
Best regards,
Jan Rinze.
