Does ferros+sel4 have a workable story for working on a hypervisor? e.g. is there anything built around virtio & block devices and so on? (Just circling back on my original probing around where the emphasis of the project is... embedded or cloud... Arm SoC of x86_64, etc.)



seL4 is for application processors, so CPUs you'd normally think of, not MCUs like you'd typically use in embedded systems. When developing for something we start out running against targets virtualized in QEMU. Whether or not you could get seL4 booting under a hypervisor that's providing/emulating less of a complete platform? I'm sure it's possible. We never bothered to try propping it up on Xen or anything like that. I have to believe someone has tried to. With respect to FerrOS, it wouldn't make any difference. It will work once the kernel is up and brokering access to resources.
